D ALeft my home I was 17, I was looking for a job

A Bm Bm ABe there down the line.

A DCome to find that one was all I need.

A Bm AThat night a grown man would bleed...
A Bm Bm AA grown man would bleed.
G A There ain't no romance in 25 to life,

D AWell I run up into the country store, I demanded the cash.
A D Had a bag in my left hand, a gun in my right.
D AWith the feelings I never had before it all happened oh too fast.
A Bm AThat shot rang out as cold as the night...
A Bm Bm ACold as the night.
D AA dust cloud rose up in the air the blood flowin' from his mouth.
A DHad his eyes wide open, they were starin' back at mine.
