Am G, Dm7 (x4)

Verse 1:

Am G Dm7
James,
Am G Dm7
Come on home.
Am G Dm7
You've been gone too long, baby.
Am G Dm7 Am G Dm7
We can't let our hero die a-lone.

Am G Dm7
We miss you day and night,
Am G Dm7
You left town to live by the rifle.
Am G Dm7
You left us to fight,
E7
But it just ain't right,
To take away the light.

Bridge 1:

F C
Remember Genie,
G Dm
From the ca-sino?
F C
She's still a-waiting,
G
In that big brass bed.

F C
The boys from your gang,
G Dm
Are knocking whisky back,
F C
'Til they get out of hand,
G
And wish they were dead.

F Dm
They're only lonely for,
C G
The life that they led,
F
With their old friends.

Chorus 1:

Am G F
Ooh...
Em7 Am G F
Wooh-hoo-ooh-hoo,
Em7
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo,
Am G F
Hoo hoo,
Em7 (C)
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo.

C Dm
James,
F

Selling your soul to a...
Ooh, James,
Are you selling your soul to a cold gun?

Interlude:

Am G, Dm7 (x2)

Verse 2:

Am G Dm7
Where,
Am G Dm7
Lies your heart?
Am G Dm7
It's not there in the buckskin baby.
Am G Dm7
It's not there in the gin,
Am G Dm7
That makes you laugh long and loud.

Am G Dm7
You're a coward, James;
Am G Dm7
You're running a-way from humanity.
Am G Dm7
You're running out on reality.
E7
It won't be funny,
When they rat-a-tat-tat you down.
