Travis Tritt - Outlaws Like Us

E
I was born a country singer
I love Charley Pride
Raised on 'He Stopped Loving Her'
       D     C#       E
Cut my teeth on 'Mama Tried'
A
Yes I love Hank Wiliams

But I still love rock 'n roll
     E
Hank Jr, me, and Waylon,
We're all cut from the same mold
    B
And they say country's changin'

And we must all adjust
    D                     C#
But I still think there's lots of room
    C                E
For old Outlaws Like Us.

E
I love to jam with the Skynyrd band
Cause 'Freebird' chills my bones
And I've talked trash with Johnny Cash
    D              C#     E
And I've sung with George Jones
    A
And I have played on the Opry stage
Where the country legends stood
          E
Where you don't give lies or alibis
Cause they don't do no good
    B
And Lord I guess that I've been blessed
Travis but I have been kicked and cussed
         D              C#
But it's nothing new to moan the blues
    C                E
For old Outlaws Like Us.

Chorus:
      A
And I wear this country banner
And I'm proud to wave the flag
            E
And you can talk all day 'bout the next Billy Ray
But I'll cast my vote for Hag
         B
And when all those screamin' metal bands
Have corroded into rust
               D            C#
There'll still be a show on Music Row
     
    C                E
For old Outlaws Like Us.

A E G A B E

E
Now I don't have a crystal ball
To tell what lies ahead
But I play my way though some folks say
D       C#      E
Country rock is dead
        A
And you may call me old-fashioned
You may think I'm insane
    E
But rhythm and blues is in my blood
And pumping through my veins
    B
And I've still got some loyal fans
That I know I can trust
         D                    C#
Who will sell their souls for rock 'n roll
    C                E
And old Outlaws Like Us.

Chorus2:
      A
And I wear this country banner
And I'm proud to wave the flag
            E
And you can talk all day bout the next Billy Ray
But I'll cast my vote for Hag
         B
And when all those dancin' rockin’ bands
Have decayed into the dust
               D            C#
There'll still be a show on Music Row    
    C                E
For old Outlaws Like Us.
             D                    C#                     
Yeah there’s scores and scores of dinosaurs
    C                 E
Who love Outlaws Like Us.
