A 
Well don't you wanna climb a mountain 
      E 
Yeah don't you wanna ride the river 
F#m 
Drink from a magic fountain 
           D 
Give your woman all the love that you can give her 
  

       A             E        D 
Well don't you wanna be an outlaw 
A                E         D 
Don't you wanna ride the range 
A               E       D 
Don't you wanna be an outlaw, children 
D  E        D                 A                D       A 
Just like Jesse, like Jesse James, just like Jesse boy 

  
          A 
Well now don't you wanna swim the ocean 
       E 
Yeah don't you wanna climb the highest tree 
F#m 
Drink some of Mama's love potion 
           D 
Touch a woman 'til she just can't see 

  

      A              E        D 
Well don't you wanna be an outlaw 
       A          E             D 
Just a poor boy caught on the skids 
A               E         D 
Don't you wanna be an outlaw, children 
D  E        D                A 
Just like Billy, just like Billy the Kid

           F#m           D 
Well now Jeese he was a bad boy 
   F#m            A 
He won the Wild West 
           F#m                       E 
Had many notches on his gun, by the year of 21 
     A        D            A      D 
But someone laid him to an early rest 

  

     A                E       D 
Well don't you wanna climb a mountain 
      A               E         D 
Yeah don't you wanna ride the river 
F#m 
Drink from a magic fountain 
          D 
Give your woman all the love that you can give her 


A               E       D 
Don't you wanna be an outlaw 
A               E         D 
Don't you wanna ride the range 
A                E       D 
Don't you wanna be an outlaw, children 
D  E             D   A                D     A 
Just, just like Jesse, just like Jeese James 

  
A                       D 
Don't You Wanna Be An Outlaw 
A                       D

Don't You Wanna Be An Outlaw 
D                            A 
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa 
A            D               A                D 
Just like Jesse, just like Jesse, just like Jesse 
Bring it on man, bring it on man, bring on 
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
