Capo 4th Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (Bm) (A/C#) (D) (Bm) (G)

It's (Bm) hard to leave town like (A/C#) Jesse (D) James
On a (Bm) long flat piece of interstate (G)
When the (Bm) only thing underneath your (A/C#) wheels (D)
Is (Bm) concrete and Pittsburgh steel (G)
That (A) two-lane sure can get you (G) gone
But it don't (A) do a thing to hide where you came (G) from

  I (Bm) wish I could've left in a cloud of dust
  On an (A) old dirt road really (Em) kick it up
  Like a (G) hell-bent desper(D)ado headin' (A) west
  Yeah (Bm) there would be no (Em) lookin' back
  Even (A) if I could, I (Em) wouldn't have
  This (G) clear view
  In the (D/F#) rearview
  Of (Em) losing every(D/F#)thing I've ever (G) loved
  Yeah I wish I could've left in a cloud of dust

(Bm) (A/C#) (D) (Bm) (G)

Them old cowboys had it made
But they don't make goodbyes like that these days
Yeah one wrong look and next thing you know
You have to watch her watch you go
Only one thing worse than words I can unsay
It's that picture in my mind I can't erase

(Repeat Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

  (Bm) There would be no (Em) lookin' back
  Even (A) if I could, I (Em) wouldn't have
  This (G) clear view
  In the (D/F#) rearview
  Of (Em) losing every(D/F#)thing I've ever (G) loved
  Yeah I wish I could've left in a cloud of dust

(Bm) (A/C#) (D) I wish I could've left 
(Bm) (G) In a cloud of dust

(Fade Out)
