          E              G#m
Stealing money from the town
         E                       G#m
Storm's coming, and you've been running
from the dark clouds
C#m                   B
No one can catch you now
      E                                   B
It's like no one, no one knows where you came from
      E                                   B
It's like no one, no one knows where you came from

I believed it in the end
I was mistaken, there was a fire on the horizon
I'd be the first one to let you in
It's like no one, no one knows where you came from
It's like no one, no one knows where you came from

        E            G#m
Union state Missouri outlaw
       C#m              B
Arrows wave the past behind
        E            G#m
Union state Missouri outlaw
           C#m           B
Red horse chase until I die

Chorus:
       E   G#m                 C#m  B
Josey Wales, you're like Josey Wales
       E   G#m                 C#m  B
Josey Wales, you're like Josey Wales

Lived forever, stripes of gold
Took the living, reflect your face in every window
There's nothing to hold you down
It's like no one, no one knows where you came from
It's like no one, no one knows where you came from

Union State Missouri outlaw
Arrows wave the past behind
Union State Missouri outlaw
Red horse chase until I die

Chorus

Union State Missouri outlaw
Arrows wave the past behind
Union State Missouri outlaw
Red horse chase until I die

Chorus:
Josey Wales
You're like Josey Wales
Josey Wales
You're my Josey Wales
