[Intro 1]

[Intro 2]
A A A A
[Chorus]
A D A D A
Dead or alive, dead or alive,
D A A E A A
ten thousand dollars, dead or alive.
[Verse 1]
A D A A
They tell me down in town I'm gettin' famous,
A E A A
they're all makin' me come home but I won't budge.
A D A A
Important folks are waitin' there to see me
A A E E
like the sheriff and the jailer and the judge.
E E A A
My picture's on the front page of the paper,
A E A A
I'm the local boy who wandered off alone.
D D A A
Now, they want me back so bad they're giving money
A E A A
to the first man who'll come out and bring me home.
[Chorus]
A D A D A
Dead or alive, dead or alive,
D A A E A
ten thousand dollars, dead or alive.
[Interlude]
A A A A
[Verse 2]
A D A A
One night last week I got a little reckless
A E A A
and I couldn't hold my triggerfinger still.
A D A A
The barrel pointed at the county Marshall
A A E E
but I only meant to scare him, not to kill.
E E A A
Now the foothills of these mountains hold my secret,
A E A A
only they know of this old deserted shack.
D D A A
But the chances are some bloodhound's gonna find me
A E A A
and some other dirty dog will take me back.
[Chorus]
A D A D A
Dead or alive, dead or alive,
D A A E A A
I wonder if I'm better off dead or alive.
[Bridge]
E E A A
People always said that I'd amount to nothin',
A E A A
that to bury me would be a waste of earth.
D D A A
But if they'll just put my price upon my tombstone
A E A A
then the world can see what I was really worth.
[End-Chorus]
A D A D A
Dead or Alive, Dead or Alive,
D A A E A
ten thousand Dollars: Dead...or...A...live.
