(No Capo)

Intro.: |(Em)(G)|(D)(C)| x 2

(Verse 1)
A (Em)cool September (G)morning, waitin' on the (D)pawn shop to let me in
200 (Em)dollars worth of summer yard (G)mowin' that (D)I just had to spend
I (Em)had my eye on (G)two things, but I could (D)only pick just one
A young (Am)man's first decision; is it a (D)guitar or a gun?

Solo: |(Em)(G)|(D)(C)| x 2

(Verse 2)
I can (Em)still hear daddy's (G)voice say, "Now (D) think about it son
One of (Em)these will last for-(G)ever, and the (D)other's just for fun
(Em)One can feed your (G)family, and one will (D)end you up in jail"
And he (Am)seemed to know which one was which, but (D)me, I couldn't (Em)tell

(Chorus)
I could (C)learn to shoot like (G)Jesse James, (D)out there on the (Em)run
Or play gui-(C)tar and be a (G)Rolling Stone, well (D)that just sounds like fun
A (C)rock star or an (G)outlaw, well (D) either way I've (Em)won
When (C)I walk out this (G)door with a (D)guitar or a gun

Solo: |(Em)(G)|(D)(C)

(Verse 1)
I (Em) thought about it (G)long and hard, as I (D) held 'em in my hand
(Em)Standin' at the (G)crossroads, still de-(D)chiding who I am (C)
They're (Em)both just wood and (G)metal, six (D)bullets or six strings?
Which-(Am)ever choice I make I'll leave here (D)feeling like a king (Em)

(Chorus)
I could (C)learn to shoot like (G)Jesse James, (D)out there on the (Em)run
Or play gui-(C)tar and be a (G)Rolling Stone, well (D)that just sounds like fun
A (C)rock star or an (G)outlaw, well (D) either way I've (Em)won
When (C)I walk out this (G)door with a (D)guitar or a gun

Solo: |(Em)(G)|(D)(C)

(Half Verse 1)
A (Em)cool September (G)morning, waitin' on the (D)pawn shop to let me in
200 (Em)dollars worth of summer yard (G)mowin' that I just had to spend

(Chorus)
I could (C)learn to shoot like (G)Jesse James, (D)out there on the (Em)run
Or play gui-(C)tar and be a (G)Rolling Stone, well (D)that just sounds like fun
A (C)rock star or an (G)outlaw, well (D) either way I've (Em)won (D)
