Outlaw Pete

Am //// ////

[Am] He was born a little baby on the Appalachian [D7/F#] Trail
At [Em] six months old he'd [E] done three months in [Am] jail
He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby [D7/F#] feet
All he [Em] said was "Folks, my [E] name is Outlaw [Am] Pete."

I'm [C] Outlaw Pete, I'm [G] Outlaw Pete!
Can you [Am] hear me? [D7/F#] do do do do do

At twenty [Am] five a mustang pony he did [D7/F#] steal
And they [Em] rode around and [E] 'round on heaven's [Am] wheel
Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw, killer and a [D7/F#] thief
And [Em] I slow down on[E]ly to slow my [Am] grief

I'm [C] Outlaw Pete, I'm [G] Outlaw Pete!
Can you [Am] hear me? [D7/F#] do do do do do

he cut his [F] trail of tears across the country[C]side
And [G] where he went, women wept and then [D] died [F]

One [Am] night he awoke from a vision of his own [D7/F#] death
Saddled his [Em] pony and rode her [E] deep into the [Am] West
Married a [Am] Navajo girl and settled down on the [D7/F#] res
And as the [Em] snow fell he held that [E] beautiful daughter to his [Am] chest

I'm [C] Outlaw Pete, I'm [G] Outlaw Pete!
Can you [Am] hear me? Can you [D7/F#] hear me? Can you [C] hear me?

Out of the [F] East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter [C] Dan
His heart [G] quickened and burned by the need to get his [Am] man
He found Pete [F] peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the [C] drop
He said, [Am] "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have [D] not." [F] //// [E ] ////

He cocked his [Am] pistol, pulled the trigger and shot him, let it [D7/F#] stop
He drew a [Em] knife from his boot threw it and [E] pierced him through the [Am] heart
Dan smiled as he layed in his own blood dying in the [D7/F#] sun
And whispered in Pete's [Em] ear, "We cannot un[E]do these things we've [Am] done."

You're [C] Outlaw Pete, You're [G] Outlaw Pete
Can you [Am] hear me? Can you [D/F#] hear me? Can you [E] hear me?

For forty [Am] days and nights Pete rode and did not [D/F#] stop
Till he sat [Em] high upon an [E] icy mountain [Am] top
He watched a [Am] hawk on a desert updraft slip and [D/F#] slide
Moved to the [Em] edge and dug his spurs deep [E] into his pony’s [Am] side

C – AM – C – AM – G – Am – G – F – E - AM

Some say [aM] Pete and his pony vanished over the [D/F#] edge
Some say [Em] they remain frozen high up [E] on that icy [Am] ledge
The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so [D/F#] fair
And braids a [Em] piece of Pete's buckskin [E] chaps into her [Am] hair

[C] Outlaw Pete, [G] Outlaw Pete, Can you [Am] hear me?, Can you [D/F#] hear me?, Can you [E] hear me?,Can you [Am] hear me?, Can you [D7/F#] hear me?, Can you [C] hear me? [Am] Can you [C] hear me?, [Am] Can you [C] hear me?, [Am] Can you [C] hear me? [Am] Can you [C] hear me?, [Am] Can you [C] hear me?, [Am] Can you [C] hear me? [Am] Can you [C] hear me? [F] [C]
