Intro: Dm

                             D
Id say Im a lover not a fighter
                        G
I never stare nobody down
                                          A
Till one night my girl I could not find her
                               D
She never made it back from town
                                   D
I found my Shannon cryin in the woods
                            G
A wicked man he held her down
                                       A
So I stuck him deep and I buried him good
                                   D
But not deep enough to fool the hounds


         D                             G          D
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky
Bm         G             A          D
I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
   D                     D/F#     G
We jumped in a boxcar to old Mexico
         D                        A           D
Where I aint worth a penny of my bounty back home
       D                        A           D
No, I aint worth a penny of my bounty back home


                              D
Well that train stopped in Tijuana 
                              G
We built a shack beneath the sun
                              A
Where I make my Shannon Margaritas 
                                 D
We watch our children laugh and run, run, run
                      D
Sometimes I miss my daddy
                     G
Sometimes I miss my mum
                                A
But I think theyd be real proud of me
                            D
To know the man that Ive become


          D                            G          D
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky
Bm          G            A          D
I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
    D                    D/F#     G
We jumped in a boxcar to old Mexico
         D                        A           D
Where I aint worth a penny of my bounty back home
       D                        A           D
No, I aint worth a penny of my bounty back home, Ha!

Solo: D    G    D    Bm    G    A   D/F#   G    A


D                 
Train, train, roll on

Train, train, roll on, roll on

Shannon whyd you run with me? She said:


D                                              Bm
What was I supposed to do boy, just watch you leave?
           G         D                A          Bm
Youd have broken my heart, youd have haunted my dreams
           D      A     D                          A         D
Your love boy is all I need, your love boy is all I'll ever need


         D                             G          D
