     A                               
Well don't you wanna climb a mountain
     E                             
Yeah don't you wanna ride the river
Gbm                        
Drink from a magic fountain
          D                                       
Give your woman all the love that you can give her


[Chorus]
A                    E     D     
Well don't you wanna be an outlaw
A               E        D    
Don't you wanna ride the range
A               E     D              
Don't you wanna be an outlaw children
E         D                A               D         A
Just like Jesse like Jesse James just like Jesse boy ■


[Verse]
     A                                 
Well now don't you wanna swim the ocean
     E                                     
Yeah don't you wanna climb the highest tree
Gbm                               
Drink some of Mama's loving potion
         D                            
Get your woman till she just can't see


[Chorus]
A               E            D        
Don't you wanna be an outlaw yeah baby
D                                  
Just a poor boy caught on the skids
          A                          
Don't you wanna be an outlaw children
E                         D     A      
Just like Billy just like Billy the Kid
                            E  
Well now Billy he was a bad boy
           D        
He won the Wild West
                                                 E  
By the year of twentyone had many notches on his gun
D                          A         
But someone laid him to an early rest
