Some ol boys sayin they're outlaws.
                                                  G

VERSE 3 
              Dm
Let me paint a picture for you.
                F
Nashville in '62
                                G
The formula had proven true.
                          F
They didn't let nothin new through.

                            Dm
When Waylon came to town.
                                F
They didn't like his original sound.
                                G
They tried hard to keep him down.
                                F
They tried hard to starve him out.
                 Dm
But he kept playin shows.

And pressin on.
                F
Chippin away song by song.
                            G
After years and years of strugglin strong.
                                              F
He got his chance and he took it to Number one
                  Dm
With This Time. in 74
                                  F
With his band in the back and four on the floor.
                       G
That one record busted down the door.
                                     F
And the record labels had the control no more.
                Dm
Then in '76 came the outlaws record.
                        F
Sold the first million in country music ever.
                    G
Those ol boys with long hair and braids
                             F                                        G
Stayed true to their sound and freed the slaves.

BRIDGE

Dm7
And all these years later
           G
the suits got back their grip.
                                 Dm
They took the outlaw concept.
                          G
And they re-packaged it.
         F                              G
And there's a million ol Waylon fans
                               Em
Singin Dont You Think This Outlaw Bit Has Gotten way Out Of Hand.
