[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Walkin' off the highway, I'd been tryin' to catch a ride
A7
Hungry and thirsty as a bear
A7
Not a penny in my pockets and I'd ran out of pride
D
So I thought I'd try to bum myself a beer
D
When up stepped a well known posse starin' down at me
A7
A big old shiny badge pinned on his vest
A7
He said if you ain't got no money and you ain't got no job
D
Boy I'm placing you under arrest
[Chorus]
N.C. D G
Or you can get out of town before sundown
A7 D
And don't you never come back
D G
Take your tambourine and your guitar strings
A7 D
and move on down the track
D G
Don't like the way that you comb your hair
A7 D
the way that you drawl you all
D G
And if you're not out of town before sundown
A7 D
you won't get out of town at all
[Verse 2]
D
Well I hitchhiked down to Phoenix, I was following the sun
A7
Prettiest place I think I've ever seen
A7
I met a sweet young lady but how was I to know
D
That pretty thing was only seventeen
D
Then I saw the red lights gleamin' and I heard the sirens screamin'
A7
A sound that fills the bravest hearts with fear
A7
And that old sheriff didn't stutter when to me those words he uttered
D
Boy don't let the sun set on you here
[Chorus]
N.C. D G
You better get out of town before sundown
A7 D
And don't you never come back
