[Intro] Em  G  C

[First Part] 

            Em
They caught hell down

On that county line
          G
He said, "Georgia law man,

He ain't taking  what's  mine!"
   C
And I knew it came a little

Too soon  my dear
                 Em
'Cause he'd been fighting his way 

Through the Southern  States
      G
With  a  bottle of whiskey  and 

A few  mistakes
         C
And then fell right into love

With a girl named Grace

[Chorus] 

                 Em                  
He said, "Well I died today
         G
When you took my breath away
          C
With that Oklahoma sunshine on your face
        Em        
And I'd find a way
G
 To promise you forever
          C
Even if forever means I'm gonna

Have to sell my soul today"

[Segunda Parte] 

        Em
So they rode together

Just-a raising Cain
G
Cheatin' death out of them poker games
          C
And then knockin' on 

The bank on the back way out of town
         Em                                       
With the marshal's boys never
                    G
Far behind and then West Virginia out

On the horizonght now 
C
He thought it best to let

Her know right now

[Chorus] 

          Em                                                   
He said, "We could've died today 
      G
But I loved you all the way
        C                                
And I'd go right down to Hell 

Just to set you free
        Em                  
And I'd find a way
G
 To promise you forever
          C
Even if forever means dying right 

Here with you next to me"
Am  Em  Am  Em
Oo__oh, oo__oh
       Am  Em    
I said oo__oh, oh
Am  G   C
Oo__oh

[Terceira Parte] 

        Em
So when Hell came down on 

That county line
    G
And all they could remember was the
Oklahoma sunshine
C
 She looked at him and he 

Looked away, he said;
         Em                                                    
"I heard West Virginia looks 
                    G
Just like heaven and right here's 

About as close as were getting and I-
 C
I don't think were going to
Win this one but hey"

[Chorus] 

            Em                  
We're gonna die today, 
         G
But I've loved you all the way
        C
And I'd go right down to Hell

Just to set you free
        Em                             
And I'd find a way
G
 To promise you forever
          C
Even if forever means dying right 

Here with you next to me
Am  Em  Am  Em
Oo__oh, oo__oh
       Am  Em
I said oo__oh, oh
Am G  C Em
Oo_oh
