intro : Em D ( x4 )

verse 1 :
Am D
a whisky bottle comforts me
G C
and tells me not to cry
Am D
while a full moon says a prayer for me
C E
i try to close my eyes

verse 2 :
Am D
but the night’s there to remind me
G D C
of the guns and the early graves
Am D
the ghosts appear as i fall asleep
C D G
to sing an outlaw’s serenade

chorus :
Dm G
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’
C C/B Am
when you’re livin’ on the run
Dm G Am G5 A5 G5 A5
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’ for the young

Dm G
is it too late to ask for forgiveness
C C/B Am
for the things that i have done
Dm G C
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’ for the young

Em D ( x4 )

verse 3 :
the desert’s been a friend to me
it covers me by night
and a snakebite’s not my enemy
but it taught me how to fight

verse 4 :
all this fame don’t bring you freedom
though it wears a thin disguise
when an outlaw is just a man to me
and a man has to die

chorus :
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’
when you’re livin’ on the run
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’ for the young
is it too late to ask for forgiveness
for the things that i have done
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’ for the young

Am C
nanananaa ( x3 )

and i hope someone will pray for me
when it’s my turn to die . . . pray for me

chorus :
Dm G
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’
C C/B Am
when you’re livin’ on the run
Dm G Am G5 A5 G5 A5
dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’ for the young

Dm G
is it too late to ask for forgiveness
C C/B Am
for the things that i have done
