F A# F I'm leaving this place behind F A# F And I'm heading out on the road tonight F A# F I'm off for the hinterlands F A# F Way up North where the tall trees stand Before I commence my ride I'm asking Lily to be my bride I know there's another man But he ain't gonna delay my plan Chorus: C I know she's gonna be my wife Dm Gonna fall in love F A# F F A# F I'm gonna live my life with her C You know I bet he's not so tough Dm Ain't afraid of him cause I'm a fool for love I've come forth to find Big Jim Well here I am and I guess you're him I see how you got your name You're tall as hell and broad as a train They say you a hard-born man And the baddest guy in the whole wide land Well I'm not afraid to fight Let's step outside and I'll show you why Chorus: I'm hummin' like a revved-up truck Never mind the odds, I'm gonna try my luck with her Just tell me when you've had enough I'm dangerous 'cause I'm a fool for love You know you don't hit half bad But I'm gonna lay you in the ground tonight Just wait until I catch my breath Gonna send you off to an early death I lie in the drifting snow Bleeding out as it covers me over If spring comes before I'm found Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground I lost friends along my way I knew I'd meet them eventually No I'm not afraid to die Just mad I left that Jim alive Chorus: I know I should have never looked back But you ain’t gonna win a woman’s heart like that I never should have called his bluff I was born to lose 'cause I’m a fool for love I stare into the endless sky Let the sorry tale of my life go by I drift into the great unknown I really don't know where I'm going | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA# C Dm F |
