Living In The West

Biography:

The Bellamy Brothers started their musical career at the end of the 1960s. In 1968, they had their first official gig, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida, USA. They kept playing throughout the South, often with already recognized musicians, such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd and others. A couple of months later, the brothers moved up north, discovering the potentials of rock/country music in Atlanta, Georgia.

Living In The West

E A
John Wesley Harding shot a man for snoring
B7 E
Killed him in the bed right where he lay
A
He took a snort of whisky and went back to his sleeping
B7 E
Rode out before they found him the next day

E A
Now the brothers Frank and Jesse no one could be more fearsome
B7 E
They robbed the trains and rode in the outlaw gangs
A
The civil war was over but still they fought for Dixie
B7 E
And legend has their last name to be James

A B7 E C#m
Living in the west must have been the best
A B7
Must have been the greatest times of all
A B7 E C#m
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
A B7
Cause I never saw them sons of guns in barrooms starting brawls

SOLO- C#m A E B E

E A
Little William Bonney Billy the Kid they called him
B7 E
Had to use a six gun to survive
A
He bit the dust at twenty-one but he left a reputation
B7 E
A notch for every year he was alive

Repeat CHORUS

E A
And now the frontier days are over for Billy and John and Jesse
B7 E
And a thousand other bad guys of their day
A
But they still live on in stories and I hope they live forever
B7 E
And to sum it up here is all that I wanna say

Repeat CHORUS
