Slow Moving Outlaw
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Dee Moeller
[3/4 time]

C           Am           C          Em
All the old stations are being torn down
        Dm                           G7
And the high flying trains no longer roll
    Dm             A#           G7
The floors are all sagging with boards
                        Dm        G7      C
That are suffering from not being used anymore

                                C7
Things are all changing and the world's
              F                         Fm
Rearranging a time that will soon be no more
C                       Dm
Where has a slow moving once quick-draw
G7            C
Outlaw got to go

        Am            C           Em
The whiskey that once settled the dust 
              Dm                 G7
And tasted so fine now tastes of pain
        Dm               A#               G7
And the memories it once blotted out come back 
                          Dm        G7        C
Stronger and more clearly with each drink you take

                          C7
The women that warmed you once thought so pretty
F                    Fm
Now look haggard and old
C                       Dm
Where has a slow moving once quick-draw
G7            C
Outlaw got to go

         Am                    C              Em
The land where I traveled once fashioned with beauty 
Dm                           G7
Now stands with scars on her face
        Dm         A#        G7
And the wide open spaces are closing in quickly
         Dm            G7          C
From the weight of the whole human race
 
                                   C7
And it's not that I blame them for claiming her bounty
F                           Fm
I just wish they'd taken it slow 
C                             Dm
Cause where has a slow moving once quick-draw
G7            C
Outlaw got to go

                        Dm
Where has a slow moving once quick-draw
G7            C
Outlaw got to go
