I'm leaving this place behind
E
A2
E
And I'm heading out on the road tonight
E
A2
E
I'm off for the hinterlands
E
A2
E
Way up North where the tall trees stand
E
A2
E
Before I commence my ride
E
A2
E
I'm asking Lily to be my bride
E
A2
E
I know there's another man
E
A2
E
But he ain't gonna delay my plan
B
I know she's gonna be my wife
C#m
Gonna fall in love I'm gonna live my life with her
E
A2
E
E
A2
E
B
You know I bet he's not so tough
C#m
Ain't afraid of him cause I'm a fool for love
E
A2
E
I've come forth to find Big Jim
E
A2
E
Well here I am and I guess you're him
E
A2
E
I see how you got your name
E
A2
E
You're tall as hell and broad as a train
E
A2
E
They say you a hard-born man
E
A2
E
And the baddest guy in the whole wide land
E
A2
E
Well I'm not afraid to fight
E
A2
E
Let's step outside and I'll show you why
B
I'm humming like a revved up truck
C#m
Never mind the odds I'm gonna try my luck with her
E
A2
E
E
A2
E
B
Just tell me when you've had enough
C#m
I'm dangerous cause I'm a fool for love
E
A2
E
You know you don't hit half bad
E
A2
E
But I'm gonna lay you in the ground tonight
E
A2
E
Just wait until I catch my breath
E
A2
E
Gonna send you off to an early death
E
A2
E
I lie in the drifting snow
E
A2
E
Bleeding out as it covers me over
E
A2
E
If spring comes before I'm found
E
A2
E
Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground
E
A2
E
I lost friends along my way
E
A2
E
I knew I'd meet them eventually
E
A2
E
No I'm not afraid to die
E
A2
E
Just mad I left that Jim alive
B
I know I should've never looked back
C#m
But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that
E
A2
E
E
A2
E
B
I never should've called his bluff
C#m
I was born to lose cause I'm a fool for love
E
A2
E
I stare into the endless sky
E
A2
E
Let the sorry tale of my life go by
E
A2
E
I drift into the great unknown
E
A2
E
I really don't know where I'm going
