The Outlaws
In spite of what my friends who play Gibson Hollow-Bodies
with flat-wound strings say about the Outlaws, this is a great
song. I was working from a live recording, so some of the words
were difficult to pick out.

Em C G D A (Play 4 times)
Verse:
Em G C
Any place you want to dream of where your soul is always free,
Em G C
Summer stage is drawing the curtain filled by every last commie[?],
Em G C
As a rainbow grew around the sun, while my stars above a guide
Em G C
came from somewhere behind the scenes to see lovely people play
C
just for me.
Em G C (2 times)
Verse:
Em G C
If I let you see this place where stories all ring true,
Em G C
Will you let me past your face to see what's really you?
Em G C
Its not for me to ask this quest as though I were a king,
Em G C
Or you'll have to love to live in fear before the birth of
C
tamborines take you there.
Chorus:
G C G
Green grass and high tides forever A--3-2-0-
G C G
Castles of stone swollen glory A--3-2-0-
G C G
Both places say, "we adore you." A--3-2-0-
G C
As kings and queens bow before you.
Solo: Em G C
Verse:
Em G C
Those who don't believe in pride, your souls will set you free.
Em G C
Those who do believe in love, time will be your key.
Em G C
Time and time again will make for peace of mind,
Em G C
To help you find yourself amongst the music and the rhyme that
C
attract you there.
Chorus
Outro: Em C G D A
