_ _ _ _ If you gather round me children, [Eb] a story [Bb] I will tell.
[F] About pretty boy [Gm] Floyd, the outlaw [Eb] of Guam, I [Bb] knew him well. _ _
He was in the town of Shawnee [Eb] on a Saturday [Bb] afternoon.
[F] His wife [Gm] beside him in the wagon, [Eb] and into [Bb] town they rode. _ _

_ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ _ _
There a deputy sheriff approached him in [Eb] a manner rather [Bb] rude.
[F] Using words [Gm] of anger, [Eb] his wife she [Bb] _ overheard.
So pretty boy grabbed a lock chain [Eb] and the deputy grabbed [Bb] his [F] gun.
And in the fight [Gm] that followed, [Eb] he laid that [Bb] deputy down. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Bb] So he took to the trees and timber [Eb] to live a [Bb] life of shame.
[F] Every crime in [Gm] Oklahoma [Eb] was added to [Bbm] his name.
[Bb] _
But many a starving farmer [Eb] the same old [Bb] story told.
[F] How the [D] outlaw [Gm] paid their mortgage [Eb] and saved their [Bb] little home. _
Others tell you about a [Eb] stranger that come to [Bb] beg a meal.
[F] And underneath [Gm] the napkin [Eb] laid a thousand [Bb] dollar bill. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ It was in Oklahoma City, it [Eb] was on a Christmas [Bb] day.
[F] A whole carload [Gm] of groceries [Eb] come with a note [Bb] to say.
Well you say that I'm an [Bbm] outlaw, [Eb] you say that I'm [Bb] a thief.
[F] Here's a Christmas [Gm] dinner [Eb] for the family's own [Bb] relief.
_ _ As through this world I've wandered, [Eb] seen lots of funny [Bb] men.
[F] Some will rob you with [Gm] a six gun [Eb] and some with a [Bb] fountain pen.
_ _ As through your life you travel, [Eb] as through your life [Bb] you roam.
[F] You'll never [Gm] see an outlaw _ _ _ [Eb] drive a family from their [Bb] home. _
