[Intro] Em G C
[Primeira Parte]
Em
They caught hell down
On that county line
G
He said, "Georgia law man,
He ain't taking what's mine!"
C
And I knew it came a little
Too soon my dear
Em
'Cause he'd been fighting his way
Through the Southern States
G
With a bottle of whiskey and
A few mistakes
C
And then fell right into love
With a girl named Grace
[Refrão]
Em
He said, "Well I died today
G
When you took my breath away
C
With that Oklahoma sunshine on your face
Em
And I'd find a way
G
To promise you forever
C
Even if forever means I'm gonna
Have to sell my soul today"
[Segunda Parte]
Em
So they rode together
Just-a raising Cain
G
Cheatin' death out of them poker games
C
And then knockin' on
The bank on the back way out of town
Em
With the marshal's boys never
G
Far behind and then West Virginia out
On the horizonght now
C
He thought it best to let
Her know right now
[Refrão]
Em
He said, "We could've died today
G
But I loved you all the way
C
And I'd go right down to Hell
Just to set you free
Em
And I'd find a way
G
To promise you forever
C
Even if forever means dying right
Here with you next to me"
Am Em Am Em
Oo__oh, oo__oh
Am Em
I said oo__oh, oh
Am G C
Oo__oh
[Terceira Parte]
Em
So when Hell came down on
That county line
G
And all they could remember was the
Oklahoma sunshine
C
She looked at him and he
Looked away, he said;
Em
"I heard West Virginia looks
G
Just like heaven and right here's
About as close as were getting and I-
C
I don't think were going to
Win this one but hey"
[Refrão]
Em
We're gonna die today,
G
But I've loved you all the way
C
And I'd go right down to Hell
Just to set you free
Em
And I'd find a way
G
To promise you forever
C
Even if forever means dying right
Here with you next to me
Am Em Am Em
Oo__oh, oo__oh
Am Em
I said oo__oh, oh
Am G C Em
Oo_oh
