Two Ragged Drifters

Into – C C B7 B7 C C B7……..
Em G
With a saddle bag of money
C
We left that western town
Em G
A steep Mountain pass
C
We had to climb
Em G
That scorching dessert
C
Almost made us loose our mind
Em G
But we hung on strong
C
Until sundown
F
Our picture posted
C G
In every town we’d go
F C G
We could only hide for just so long
F
Two ragged drifters
C G
On their way to Mexico
Am
Hungry for a life that’s better
C B7
A life we’ll never know
Riding through the night
We spent 6 months on the run
Our coats were worn
to tattered threads
The tumble weed
and the bright red cactus flowers
Black hungry Buzzards overhead
Chorus
- Bridge -
G D C
400 miles of dry riverbeds
G B7 C
Our horse’s barely survived
C G
And those bounty hunters seeking silver for our head
Am C
We were wanted dead or alive
Am B7 Em
We were wanted dead or alive
INSTRUNMENTAL- Like into
I heard a shot
The sun blazing in our eyes
And her body
Fell onto the ground
I held her head up
While she whispered in my ear
Just take the saddlebags and ride
We saw our picture posted
In every town we’d go
But we could only hide for just so long
Two ragged drifters
On their way to Mexico
Hungry for a life that’s better
a life we’ll never know
Two ragged drifters
their way to Mexico
Longing for a life together
B7
A life we’ll never know
