Girl In Illinois chords

Capo 1

Intro: [C] [Am] [G] [F] [C] x2

[C]Gallops and gunshots
[Am]Sounds that warn me that I got
To [G]end this robber[F]y and hit the [C]bricks
[C]Bags of cash in my hand
[Am]On the road once again
At [G]least till I[F] need another [C]fix
[C]Now for me there's a bounty
[Am]So I fled to Cook County
I'l[G]l lay low and j[F]ust keep to my[C] own
[C]But in a town called Barrington
[Am]At a bar drinking my cares again
A g[G]irl walked in and s[F]hook me to the b[C]one

[F]I've eluded la[C]wmen from S[G]an Fran to Long I[Am]sland
[F]Shot the few that [C]I couldn't av[G]oid
[F]Wanted in a[C]ll states, thought t[G]his life would seal [Am]my fate
But I was [F]brought down by a g[G]irl in Illin[C]ois

[C]I kept my cool but barely
[Am]Her eyes like two blueberries
Her[G] smile shined l[F]ike the chrome[C] of my gun
[C]Could have been the whiskey
[Am]But one look had me tipsy
And I f[G]elt myself f[F]alling for this [C]one
[C]I broke rule one of my code
[Am]Commit only to the road
But[G] this girl was [F]more than wort[C]h the risk
[C]Before long she took me in
[Am]And we wrote a happy ending
To this o[G]utlaw life I [F]could never re[C]sist

[F]I've eluded la[C]wmen from S[G]an Fran to Long I[Am]sland
[F]Shot the few that [C]I couldn't av[G]oid
[F]Wanted in a[C]ll states, thought t[G]his life would seal [Am]my fate
But I was [F]brought down by a g[G]irl in Illin[C]ois

[C]One morning I awoke in bed
[Am]To a gun pointed at my head
It s[G]eems I mis[F]read this situat[C]ion
[C]She said she planned it all along
[Am]Needed the bounty to help her mom
Who[G] is sick and[F] couldn't affo[C]rd the medicine
[C]Yeah that's sweet but now I sit
[Am]In a prison but I must admit
I t[G]hink about that[F] girl every mi[C]nute
[C]I dropped my guard, loves my excuse
[Am]Tomorrow I will face the noose
And [G]hopefully one last time the [G]girl that put me in it (The g[C7]irl that put me in)

[F]I've eluded la[C]wmen from S[G]an Fran to Long I[Am]sland
[F]Shot the few that [C]I couldn't av[G]oid
[F]Wanted in a[C]ll states, thought t[G]his life would seal [Am]my fate
But I was [F]brought down by a g[G]irl in Illin[C]ois
I was [F]brought down by a g[G]irl in Illin[C]ois
I was [F]brought down by a g[G]irl in Illin[Am]ois-oy-oy
I was [F]brought down by a g[G]irl in Illin[C]ois
