Willie Nelson - Slow Movin Outlaw 

    ------(Capo 2nd Fret)-----

(verse 1)
G                         Bm
All the old stations are being torn down,
              Am                    D7
And the high flyin trains no longer roll,
         Am               F          D7
And the floors are all sagging with boards,
                        Am        D7      G
that are suffering from not being used anymore,

Things are all changing and the world's,
              C 
rearranging a time that will soon be no more,
 G                       Am
Where has a slow movin, once quickdraw,
   D7         G - D7 - G - D7
outlaw got to go,


(verse 2)
The whiskey that once settled the dust, 
and tasted so fine now tastes of pain,
And the memories it once blotted out come back, 
stronger and more clearly with each drink you take,
The women that warmed you, you once thought so pretty,
Now look haggard and old,
Where has a slow movin, once quick-draw
outlaw got to go,


(verse 3)
G                                Bm
The land where I traveled once fashioned,
            Am                           D7 
with beauty now stands with scars on her face,
        Am         F           D7
And the wide open spaces are closing in quickly,
          Am            D7          G
from the weight of the whole human race,
                                G
And it's not that I blame them for claiming her beauty,
C
I just wish they'd taken it slow, cause,
G                      Am
Where has a slow movin once quickdraw,
   D7         G - D7
outlaw got to go,
     G                      Am  
Oh, where has a slow movin, once quickdraw,
   D7         G - D7 - G
outlaw got to go,
