G      F        C                G       F     C
I cannot wait for dawn to break, I must be on my way
  G      F         C          Bb        C         G
Before I pass this way again, Be many a dark dark day
    G       F        C                G        F       C
The sheriff does not know my face, he does not know my name
    G          F        C                 Bb        C        G
But before the sun goes down again, he’ll know them just the same

[Chorus]
    F                   G        Bb       C       G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb         C                 Bb      C    G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again

Between a poor man's word and a rich man's gold, who’s chances would you choose
    G         F    C                     Bb      C          G
The judge and jury close their eyes, and justice don’t come true
     G        F      C                       G        F      C
I’ll run from what I haven’t done, cause the long arm of the law
    G            F             C                Bb   C          G
Has got a silver spade that’ll dig my grave, in Fort Smith Arkansas

[Chorus]
    C    F        Bb    G        Bb       C       G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb         C                 Bb      C    G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again

[Verse 3]
G     F        C                G      F      C
Down along the railroad tracks, waitin in the weeds
    G             F            C                    Bb     C       G
The first freight train to the leave the yard, will be the one for me
     G      F            C                       G         F        C
I’ll find a place on the box car roof, where the wind cuts cold and deep
G       F       C                Bb       C     G
I don’t need no railroad man, to catch me in my sleep

[Chorus]
    C    F        Bb    G        Bb       C       G
One kiss before I leave you, and one more for the wind
Bb         C                 Bb      C    G
Everyday I hope and pray, to be with you again
   Bb      C    G         Bb    C     G
To be with you again
