Chords
A D
Big kid Josie rode away
D C# Bm7 A
In the sunset covered sky
E A
A lynching mob had strung his friend up
B D
Right before his eyes
A D
He didn't know what they'd both done
F#m D
He sure as hell would end up hung
F#m G#m A D
Or help to notch the sheriff's gun
B
If he didn't move on
C# F# B E
Get out of here
#Same as first
The sheriff followed Josie's trail
From Kansas City West
He said he'd put a bullet right
Through poor old Josie's chest
But Josie wasn't like the rest
He don't like bullet holes in his vest
In fact he'd do his very best
Don't want any arrest
Don't want to be the guest
Of the sheriff
C F
The nights got so damned cold
F Am Dm7 C
He couldn't stand the pace
G C
He looked again for sheriff's men
D F
But couldn't see a trace
C F
Josie found a nice warm place
Am F
But then the sheriff solved the case
D Em F
Poked a gun in Josie's face
G4
And said lookie here...

A D
Sheriff rode him into town
D C# Bm7 A
With Josie lookin' sad
E A
He didn't know about the six-gun
B E
Big kid Josie had
A D
Then Josie drew his gun real fast
F#m D
Gave the sheriff one big blast
F#m G#m A
Now Josie was retired at last
B
A legend from the past
C# F# B E
Nobody ever messed with the sheriff
