Tom: Dm 

Intro: Am C


Verse 1
Dm                       G
A whisky bottle comforts me
Am                      C
And tells me not to cry
Dm                                 G
While a full moon says a prayer for me  
Am                E
I try to close my eyes
Dm                             G
But the night's there to remind me
Am                             C
Of the guns and the early graves
Dm                              G
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep 
Am                         E
To sing an outlaw's serenade

Chorus
Dm                          G                          
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
Am                          C
When you're livin' on the run
Dm                         G               Am
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young
Dm                              G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
Am                          C
For the things that I have done
Dm                          G                Am
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young

Verse 2 (mesmos acordes do verso 1)

The desert's been a friend to me 

It covers me by night

And a snakebite's not my enemy

But it taught me how to fight

All this fame don't bring you freedom

Though it wears a thin disguise

When an outlaw is just a man to me

And a man has to die

Chorus

Solo

Bridge
Am
And I hope someone will pray for me
C                                             Dm
When it's my turn to die  ...  pray for me

Chorus
Am     C
