These chords are old but we shake hands

Cause I believe that they're the good guys 
E                           B
We can use all the help we can 
A               B                            
So many minor chords outside 
E                          B                 
I fell in love with your sound

We got tunes we kicked around (some)

Hard times in bad lands I'm a good man (for ya)

E                                    B
Last night there was a horse in the road 
A                      B
I was twisting in the hairpin 
E                            B
My hands held on my mind let go 
A                                B
And back to you my heart went skipping 
E                           B
I found the inside of the road 
A                                    B
Thought about the first time that I met you 
E                           B
All those glances that we stole 
A                                       B
Sometimes if you want them then you've got to

E                G#m   A
Babe we both had dry spells 
      B             E*          B      A     
Hard times in bad lands I'm a good man (for ya) 
                  E                               
I'm a good man

E                             B
They shot a Western south of here 
A                           B                
They had him cornered in a canyon 
E                            B              
And even his horse had disappeared 
A                               B           
They said it got run down by a bad bad man 
E                               B           
You're not a good shot but I'm worse 
A                                   B       
And there's so much where we ain't been yet 
E                          B                
So swing up on this little horse 
A                            B              
The only thing we'll hit is sunset
                                           
E                G#m   A
Babe we both had dry spells

I'm a good man
