          F#m               A
They were duelin', Doolin' Dalton,
        F#m              A  A7
High or low, it was the same
      D                   F#m
Easy money, and faithless women
          B    D         A  C#m
Red eye whiskey for the pain

F#m                            A           C#m
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
F#m                         A         A7
Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeyville
D                            F#m
Two voices call to you from where they stood
B                                     D       A
Lay down your law books now, they're no damn good

       C#m      F#m             A
Better keep on movin', Doolin' Dalton
C#m          F#m              A  A7
 'Till your shadow sets you free
           D                 F#m
If you're fast and if you're lucky
          B     D                 A
You will never see that hangin' tree.

         C#m              A               D
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plains
      Bm                                F#m
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin'
for the names
       A                 Em7    A7        D
And a man could use his back or use his brains
     Bm
But some just went stir crazy,
             E            C#m
Lord 'cause nothin' ever changed

            F#m             A
'Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
       C#m      F#m                A  A7
He was workin' cheap, just bidin' time
         D                      F#m
Then he laughed and said, "I'm goin',"
           B         E             A E F#m
And so he left that peaceful life behind
