C G C
He rode up on a winter day
C G C
Steam risin� off a streak face bay
F C F
Said you probably know my name
C G C
If you don�t it�s Arkansas Dave

C G C
He talked of fifteen years ago
C G C
And how he got the bay he rode
F C F
Said he killed a man in Ohio
C G C
First man he killed first horse he stole

F C F
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
C G C
He shot and left him where he laid
F C F
He said he�d never forget that winter day
C G F
He rode off on a streak faced bay

C G C
I stood up and I shook his hand
C G C
Told no one that I knew this man
F C F
Started makin� up a plan
C G C
Bout how I�d deal him his last hand


C G C
Didn�t take him long to come unwound
C G C
He jumped up and gunned two men down
F C F
Ran outside to leave the town
C G C
But ole� bay was nowhere to be found

Key Shift: D

D A D
I head out with my forty four
D A D
And when he walked back through the door
G D G
I shot till I could shoot no more
D A D
And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor

G D G
It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
D A D
I shot and left him where he laid
G D G
I�ll never forget that winter day
D A D
I rode off on a streak faced bay
G D G
No I�ll never forget that winter day
D A D
When I rode home on Daddy�s streak face bay

*p = pull off
h = hammer on




**First Tab...found the chords, made the actual intro tab. I always listen to George,
so I'm pretty sure it's right, just listen to the song for the rhythms and minor
changes in chord locations.
Here is a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPwiIOUpZs . Thanks!

***The intro isn't in the beginning of the link above, but you can hear it
at 0:56 seconds. Listen close, it is pretty STRAIT forward.
