Waylon Jennings - "Slow Movin' Outlaws"

#

Outlaws I know, RCA years I think, maybe Best Of.
Someone contributed the chords to Willy's version, and
those chords look like Willy's but sure not like
Waylon's. This was my first ever attempt at figuring
chords, and there are two problems. I'm not quite
sure the 'chorus' progression is right but nothing
else I've tried works at all, and stranger yet is that
the verse progression seems to follow the same order
but change at slightly different places. See what you
think.

D
All the old stations, are being torn down.
A D
And the high flyin' trains no longer roll.

The floors are all sagging,

With boards that are suffering,
A
from not being used anymore.
G
Things are all changing, the world's rearranging,
D
A time that will soon be no more...
A G
Where has a slow moving, once quick draw outlaw, got
D
to go?

The whiskey that once settled the dust,
A
and tasted so fine,
D
Now tastes of pain.

And the memories it once blotted out,

come back stronger, more clearly with each drink you
A
take.
G
The women that warmed you, you once thought so pretty,
D
NOw look haggard and old.
A G
Where has a slow moving, once quick draw outlaw, got
D
to go?

The land where I traveled, once fashioned with beauty,
A
now stands with scars on her face.
D
The wide open spaces, are closing in swiftly,
A
from the weight of the whole human race.
G
And its not that I blame them, for claiming her

bounty,
D
I just wish they'd taken it slow,
A G
Where has a slow moving, once quick draw outlaw, got
D
to go?
