Woody Guthrie - Pretty Boy Floyd Ver2 gitaar chord
Je score:
Pretty boy Floyd E A E If you'll gather round me children, a story I will tell B7 E A B7 E 'Bout Pretty Boy the outlaw, Oklahoma new him well E A E It was in the town of Shawnee, on a saturday afternoon B7 E A B7 E His wife beside him in the wagon, as into town they rode There a deputy sherrif approached him In a manner rather rude Using vulgar words of anger, And his wife she overheared Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain The deputy grabbed his gun And in the fight that followed He laid that deputy down Then he took to the trees and timber To live a life of shame Every crime in Oklahoma Was added to his name Yes, he took to the river bottom along the river shore And Pretty Boy found a welcome at every farmers door There's many a starving farmer the same old story told How the outlaw paid their mortgage and saved their little home Others tell you about a stranger that come to beg a meal And underneath his napkin left a thousand dollar nill It was in Oklahoma city It was on a christmas day There came a whole carload of groceries With a note to say: You say that I'm an outlaw You say that I'm a thief Here's a christmas dinner For the families on relief Yes, as through this world I've rambled I've seen lots of funny men Some will rob you with a six-gun And some with a fountain pen But as through your life you'll travel Wherever you may roam You won't never see no outlaw Drive a family from their home ------------------------------ m.vuijst
