[Intro] Em C Em C A [Verse 1] D Am C G Death be my mistress, guns be my wife, breath is my witness and roads are my life Bm Em C A Just give my future's clean as a knife, far on the way from L.A D Am C G The sun heats the saddle, sand in my hair, looking for water, and there's sweat everywhere Bm Em C A Know that I'm nearer I smell damp air, I ain't tasted coffee for days [Chorus] Em C D Em When the leaves are down, I'll be southward bound, hunters hunt the outsider Em C D Em When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old, nothing holds the outsider [Instrumental] C Em C A [Verse 2] D Am C G Just killed a man in a town called nightfall, damned if I can't, remember it all Bm Em C A My hand it was shaking, but his talk it was tall, I paid for the funeral crew D Am C G And it seems like I never reach Mexico, they're heading me off every place that I go Bm Em C A I'm sick of the fact that I've, got to lay low, what else can an outsider do [Chorus] Em C D Em I know they're near to me, I don't have to see, just let me be the outsider Em C D Em They ain't far behind, they're always on my mind, they won't find the outsider C Em C Em The outsider [Solo] C Em C A D Am C G Bm Em C A [Chorus] Em C D Em When the leaves are down, I'll be southward bound, hunters haunt the outsider Em C D Em When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old, nothing holds the outsider [Outro] C Em C Em C Em The outsider, the outsider
