Song: Outlaw Pete Album: Working on a Dream Transcribed by Hugo Kleinhans (hugotahell) Am D He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail E Am At six months old he'd done three months in jail Am D Here at the bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet E Am All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete." Chorus C I'm Outlaw Pete! G I'm Outjaw Pete! Am Can you hear me? D Doo, doo, doo, doo doo Am D At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal E Am And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel Am D Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw killer and a thief E Am And I slowed down only to saw my grief C I'm Outlaw Pete! G I'm Outlaw Pete! Am Can you hear me? D Doo, doo, doo, doo doo F C They cut his trail of tears across the countryside G D E And where he went, women wept and men died Am D One night he woke from a vision of his own death E Am Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West Am D Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res E Am And as the smoke fell he held that beautiful daughter to his chest C I'm Outlaw Pete! G I'm Outlaw Pete! Am Can you hear me? D Can you hear me? C Can you hear me? Instrumental Break: C - F - Am - F x2 F C Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan G Am His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man F C He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop G D E He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have not." Am D He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shot him ?let it start? E Am He drew a knife from his boot and pierced Dan through the heart Am D Dan smiled as he laid in his own blood dying in the sun E Am And whispered in Pete's ear, "We cannot undue these things we've done." C You're Outlaw Pete! G You're Outlaw Pete! Am Can you hear me? D Can you hear me? E Can you hear me? Am D For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop E Am Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top Am D He watched the hawk on a desert updraft slip and slide E Am Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony's side Instrumental Break: C-A-C-Am G-A-G-F-E-Am Am D Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge E Am Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge )Dm
