None of them
This is kinda complicated to explain but very easy to play once you
understand what you're doing.
I play the "bass" part on my acoustic guitar all through the verses.
I only play actual chords during the chorus and at the end of the last
verse. You can do whichever suits you. :)

Am - - - -
My daddy was an outlaw,
Mom died givin' birth to me.
They both left me all alone when I was on bended knee.
Maybe you don't like my story,
Then I suggest you turn the page.
I don't need no preacher,
Am(strum)
I ain't got no soul to save.
Am
Well my name is Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh
And this here is Tennessee Jack.
E
Don't you give us any lip now boy or today'll be your last.
Am
When the bank was dry, we said goodbye
And walked out to the street
E
Where a cloud of bullets come a thunderin' down
Am
and took Tennessee to his knees.
Am
Well I stood there and watched him bleedin'
Like a fool out in the rain.
E
Didn't have time to think when I jumped
Am
Through the banks front window pane.
Well I grabbed the teller in the blink of an eye,
Put a colt up to his head.
E
Said, "Careful son, don't you try to run
Am
Or tomorrow you'll wake up dead."
D E Am
Yeah, and me, I've got to fly just like an eagle.
D E Am
Free like a bird upon the wind.
D E Am
Hellfire and brimstone, well they're comin' down on me.
D E Am - REPEAT INTRO -
Mister, I was born of sin.
Am
Well I sat down in the corner
And I rolled a little homegrown.
E
Said, "If I'm gonna die today I sure as hell ain't goin' alone."
Am
Well I ran out the bank a'shootin'.
I was two for two at first,
E Am
Til I felt the painful sound as a bullet tore my shirt.
D E Am
Yeah, and me, I've got to fly just like an eagle.
D E Am
Free like a bird upon the wind.
D E Am
Hellfire and brimstone, well they're comin' down on me.
D E Am - REPEAT INTRO -
Mister, I was born of sin.
Am
Well I crawled back to the alley way
Where I knew my horse was tied,
E
And that's where all the legends say
That Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh died,
Am
But I was in a place so far from there
E
In a time so long ago,
D
In the arms of a pretty little senorita
E
On the Gulf of Mexico.
D E Am
Yeah, and me, I've got to fly just like an eagle.
D E Am
Free like a bird upon the wind.
D E Am
Hellfire and brimstone, well they're comin' down on me.
D E Am - REPEAT INTRO - Am
Mister, I was born of sin.
I was born of sin.
