They were Doolin, Doolin-Dalton 
        Em              G       G7 
High or low, it was the same 
     C                    Em 
Easy money, and faithless women 
        A      C        G       B7 
Red eye whiskey for the pain.
[Strophe]
Em                           G               B7 
Go down Bill Dalton, it must be God's will 
Em                        G              G7 
Two brothers lyin dead in Coffeeville. 
C                           Em 
Two voices call to you from where they stood, 
A                                    C       G 
"Lay down your lawbooks now, they're no damn good."
[Strophe]
       D/F#    Em            G      B7 
Better keep on movin, Doolin-Dalton 
            Em            G   G7 
Till your shadow sets you free. 
               C                  Em 
And if you're fast, and if you're lucky, 
         A7             C      G 
You will never see that hangin tree.
[Refrain]
         Bm             G               C      C/B 
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain 
     Am                                Em 
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin for the names 
      G                 Am      G/B     C       C/B 
And a man could use his back or use his brains 
    Am                                   D           B7 
But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin ever changed
[Strophe]
          Em              G      B7 
Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton 
                Em               G    G7 
He was workin cheap, just buyin time 
             C                    Em 
And then he laughed and said I'm goin 
           A7       D               G 
And so he left that peaceful life behind.
