[C]He rode up on a [G]winter [C]day
[C]Steam risin? off a [G]streak face [C]bay
[F]Said you probably [C]know my [F]name
[C]If you don?t it?s [G]Arkansas [C]Dave
[C]He talked of fifteen [G]years [C]ago
[C]And how he got the [G]bay he [C]rode
[F]Said he killed a man in [C]Ohi[F]o
First [C]man he killed first [G]horse he [C]stole
It was a [F]long road for [C]Arkansas [F]Dave
He [C]shot and left him [G]where he [C]laid
He said he?d [F]never forget that [C]winter [F]day
[C]He rode off on a [G]streak faced [F]bay
[C]I stood up and I [G]shook his [C]hand
[C]Told no one that I [G]knew this [C]man
[F]Started makin? [C]up a [F]plan
[C]Bout how I?d deal him [G]his last [C]hand
[C]Didn?t take him long [G]to come [C]unwound
[C]He jumped up and gunned [G]two men [C]down
[F]Ran outside to [C]leave the [F]town
[C]But ole? bay was nowhere [G]to be [C]found
Key Shift: D
I [D]head out with my [A]forty [D]four
And [D]when he walked back [A]through the [D]door
I [G]shot till I could [D]shoot no [G]more
And Dave [D]Rudabough fell [A]to the [D]floor
It was the [G]end of the road for [D]Arkansas [G]Dave
I [D]shot and left him [A]where he [D]laid
I?ll [G]never forget that [D]winter [G]day
I r[D]ode off on a [A]streak faced [D]bay
No I?ll [G]never forget that [D]winter [G]day
When I [D]rode home on Daddy?s [A]streak face [D]bay
*p = pull off
h = hammer on
**First Tab...found the chords, made the actual intro tab. I always listen to George,
so I'm pretty sure it's right, just listen to the song for the rhythms and minor
changes in chord locations.
Here is a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPwiIOUpZs . Thanks!
***The intro isn't in the beginning of the link above, but you can hear it
at 0:56 seconds. Listen close, it is pretty STRAIT forward.
