Confederate Railroad - Ladies Love Outlaws Chords

Ladies Love Outlaws
written by Lee Clayton
NOTE: I think this is a different key than Waylon's version, in case you're confused.


INTRO:  G

G                              C
Bessi was a lovely child from West Tennessee
D                                  G
LeRoy was an outlaw, hard-eyed and mean
    G                                C
One day she saw him staring and it chilled her to the bone
    D                                               G
She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own


CHORUS:
        G          C
'Cause ladies love outlaws
       D          G
Like babies love stray dogs
G                            C
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
 D                                                 G
Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul


Linda was a lady, blond and built to last
Billy was a no-good guitar picker runnin' from his past
Listenin' to his songs she heard nothin' but bad news
Still she made her mind up, tried to get him win or lose


CHORUS
