This is easiest way I find to play this song.  Why complicate things.

Capo 1st threat

[Intro] G      D      C


       G                              D
You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun

       C                   D                G
Just a small-town dude with big city attitude

              D                         C             D
Honey are you lookin' for some trouble tonight - well alright

    G                            D
You think you're so bad drive the women folk wild

C                          D                         G
shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile

              D                    C           D
Honey but you met your match tonight - oh that's right

[Pre-Chorus 1]

                 Em                            G
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor

        Am                            C
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin' for more

   D
So come on baby, come on baby

C                             D
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

[Chorus]

           G              D
If you can give it - I can take it

             C                              D                     G
'Cos if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it

           D        C            D
'Cos I knowww tonight - somebody's gonna win the fight

             G                   D
So if you're so tough - c'mon and prove it

              Em                       C                        G
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it

                     D               C (Hold Chord__________)
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames - just like Jesse James

[Verse 2]

          G                   D
You're an outlaw lover and I'm after you hide

         C
Well you ain't so strong

         D                            G
Won't be long 'til your hands are tied

                  D                     C
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive

       D
That's right

    G                            D
You break the laws of love in the name of desire

     C  C    C   N.C.                    D           G
Take ten steps back 'cause I'm ready baby - aim and fire

Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
