Notorious Confederate Railroad
**************** NOTORIOUS *****************
Written and performed by Confederate Railroad.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
R[E]iding North on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
An[A]d a pistol that he used to pa[E]ve the way
Down the long black stretches of a d[B7]ark highway
Verse 2:
R[E]ay bought his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
Th[A]at kid should have put the money i[E]n the sack
But he didn't and now there ain't no t[B7]urning back
Chorus 1:
He's a d[A]esperate rider, he's a[E] Jesse James
The b[A]est that he could hope for is a h[E]ousehold name
There a[A]in't nobody that a m[E]an can trust
When all[B7] his headlines read, n[E]otorious
There a[A]in't nobody that a m[E]an can trust
When all[B7] his headlines read, n[E]otorious
Verse 3:
Th[E]ey pulled out of ? about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
R[A]ay killed the motor at the coun[E]ty line
Changed his Tennessee plates to a l[B7]ost tag sign
Verse 4:
S[E]he would never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
H[A]er momma raised her to be lo[E]yal and true
And she figured that's the least that [B7]she could do
Chorus 2:
She was l[A]ost and lonely on a[E] midnight ride
Rel[A]uctant Bonnie to a po[E]orman's Clyde
It a[A]in't too easy when the m[E]an you love
Has go[B7]t a reputation that's n[E]otorious
It a[A]in't too easy when the m[E]an you love
Has go[B7]t a reputation that's n[E]otorious
Verse 5:
Th[E]ey were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
R[A]ay popped that Firebird into [E]overdrive
And swore he'd never let them [B7]take him alive
Chorus 3:
He was a d[A]esperate rider, he was[E] Jesse James
The b[A]est that he'd ever hope for was a h[E]ousehold name
The mo[A]rning papers didn't s[E]ay too much
But his[B7] obituairy read, n[E]otorious
The c[A]aption by his picture didn't s[E]ay too much
But his[B7] obituairy read, n[E]otorious
The c[A]aption by his picture didn't s[E]ay too much
But his[B7] obituairy read, n[E]otorious
