[Intro]
 C G C C G C


[Verse 1]
C                G     CHe rode up on a winter day
C                   G           CSteam rising off a streak-faced bay
F                   C       FSaid, you probably know my name
C                  G        CIf you don't it's Arkansas Dave


[Verse 2]
    C                 G     CHe talked of fifteen years ago
     C              G      CAnd how he got the bay he rode
          F              C       FSaid, he killed a man in Oh - i - o
       C                    G        CFirst man he killed, first horse he stole


[Chorus 1]
          F             C        FIt was a long road for Arkansas Dave
    C                 G        CHe shot and left him where he lay
            F                 C      FSaid, he'd never forget that winter day
C                 G           CHe rode off on a streak-faced bay


[Verse 4]
C                 G         CI stood up and I shook his hand
     C              G        CTold no one that I knew this man
  F              C     FStarted thinking of a plan
       C               G         C'Bout how I'd deal him his last hand


[Verse 5]
        C                G    CDidn't take him long to come unwound
C                        G       CHe jumped up and gunned two men down
 F              C         FRan outside to leave the town
         C              G      CBut ol' bay was nowhere to be found

[Verse 6]
   D               A     DI hid out with my forty-four
     D                   A           DAnd when he walked back through the door
   G                 D        GI shot till I could shoot no more
           D            A       DAnd Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floor


[Chorus 2]
            G                   D       GIt was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
   D                 A        DI shot and left him where he lay
      G                 D      GI'll never forget that winter day
D                  A            DI rode off on the streak faced bay
         G                 D     GNo I'll never forget that winter day
D                       A            DI rode home on daddy's streak faced bay
