🎸 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

🎸 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
