[Verse 1]

E                               A           E
Oh there was a time when she'd lie in the grass
                 C#m           E
And imagine the places she'd never go
 E                               A        E
And there all alone she would pleasure herself
                   C#m            E
With thoughts of a man she would never know
  E                                   A             E
Lying there, she made a promise that one day she'd run
                        C#m           E
And she'd find just the man she was looking for
 E                                A        E
Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun
                   C#m           E
But he was not the man that she took him for

[Verse 2]

 E                            A       E
When he came to town he came rambling in
                    C#m          E
On a great cloud of dust carried by the wind
E                              A        E
Oh, it wasn't long before he pulled her in
                     C#m           E
And he asked her to come run away with him
E                                   A        E
He saw a pretty young girl who was ready to run
                      C#m                E
And she saw just the chance she'd been looking for
 E                                A      E
Well, she fell in love with that son of gun
                   C#m           E
But he was not the man that she took him for

E     A     E    
Oh - Ohoh - Oh 
    C#m   E
Oh  Ohh - Oh

[Verse 3]

 E
They headed out west driving into the sun
         C#m                     E
And he promised her she was the only one
 E
Well, he was a thief and he'd steal just for fun
          C#m                      E
He'd go cruising around with his little gun
A                   C#m                 
He ran afoul of the law and decided to run
A                C#m                     
And he left her alone with their little one
A                C#m                      
Well, she was in love with that son of a gun
A               C#m
And the story between them wasn't done

A C#m A C#m

[Chorus]

E     A    E
When she finds him
                   C#m           E
She will make him regret he was ever born
 E    A    E
When she finds him
                   C#m           E
She will make him regret he was ever born
 E    A    E
When she finds him
          A        C#m           E
She will make him regret he was ever born
E     A    E
When she finds him
                   C#m           E
She will make him regret he was ever born

E     A     E    
Oh - Ohoh - Oh 
    C#m   E
Oh  Ohh - Oh
