We Robbed Trains

C                   F             
Cowboys and outlaws and long shiny 
 C
rails

C                           
Was the background setting of 
  D7           G7
grandpappy's tales

C                  F             C
Places like Tucson and old Santa Fe

Cheyenne Wyomin' during Rodeo Days


C                       F        
I'd sit there for hours perched 
      C
on his knee

C                          D7    
To ride just as far as his memory
       G7
 could see

C                          F     
With Billy The Kid and the one 
    C
Jesse James

C                        G7

Billy and Jesse me and we robbed 
C
trains


C                          F     
But a boy don't stay seven all of
     C
 his life

C                              D7
And he starts to wonder what's 
              G7
true and what's lies

C                              F 
Still respect makes him listen to
              C
 an old man's refrain

C

The funeral was family as 
         C
funerals should be

C                         D7     
Except for two cowboys no one 
        G7
else could see

C                             
And then they were gone just as
