Notes: There are chords mixed in with the riffs that I didn't
bother to write out. It's pretty easy to figure out where they
go. Each riff is only written once, but used at least a few times
-- it should be obvious where.
There's one chord that I don't know the name of for sure. I wrote
it as C9maj7 (my best guess), and it looks like this (low to high):
x20010

Tonight I'm gonna sleep in a good hotel
Am C D
A nice warm bath if all goes well I've
G D
Been out in the badlands twenty-one days
C D
Tracking my bounty down
G D C D G D

So all you down town ladies won't you

I've got some gold in my saddle bags
C G
I'd trade it for a smile
D C
Let's have dinner on the devil tonight
G C C9maj7 Am
Tomorrow there'll be hell to pay
G D
Won't you come along, I'll be riding on
C D G
The glory road some day
G D
Two men painted on a midnight sky
Am C D
One slung low, the other riding high
G D C D
I wonder if anybody knows just why I had to shoot him down
G D C D G D
And now I lay me down to rest
Am C D
God bless the boy, my bullet in his chest
G D
But you can't bless me 'cause I lost my soul
C D G
Out on the glory road
(Repeat chorus)
