Chords with lyrics

INTRO: C#m(4x)-A-B

C# minorC#m
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
       A augmentedA        BB
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
C# minorC#m
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade
  A augmentedA    BB         A augmentedA
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
F# minorF#m
No good at home
A augmentedA                 BB
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world

alone

And now its...

REFRAIN:

C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
Eighteen and life you got it
F# minorF#m     BB
EIghteen and life you know
C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
Your crime is time and it's
BB
Eighteen and life to go
C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
Eighteen and life you got it
F# minorF#m     BB
Eighteen and life you know
C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
Your crime is time and it's
BB       C# minorC#m
Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

C# minorC#m         A augmentedA          BB
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
C# minorC#m            A augmentedA      BB
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
C# minorC#m
They say he loved adventure.
A augmentedA     BB                A augmentedA
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
BB
with a gun
A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
A augmentedA              BB
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your

best friend

And now it's...

[REPEAT REFRAIN]

BRIDGE:

A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
A augmentedA               BB
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away

AD LINE: [DO REFRAIN CHORD PATTERN]

[REPEAT REFRAIN 2X]
