Chords with lyrics

Intro:
FF G+G A minorAm

A minorAm              FF
Last time I saw Danny, he was having trouble breathing
C majorC             G+G
bullet in his belly and a couple fingers gone.
A minorAm               FF
thought about him dying, like a dog as I was leaving
C majorC              G+G          A minorAm
He's the one who always said, "Take the money and run."
A minorAm              FF
perfect plan is perfect, up until something goes wrong
    C majorC                 G+G
like a cowboy in a liquor store, playing hero for a day
A minorAm               FF
funny thing about heroes, they don't last very long
   C majorC               G+G       A minorAm
said Danny you're a goner man, I'm sorry I can't stay

A minorAm             FF
Seventeen months later, I'm drinking here in Tulsa
C majorC                G+G
hear a voice behind me say, "One move and it's goodbye."
   A minorAm             FF
Says Jack I cannot tell ya, how good it is to see you
 C majorC               G+G        A minorAm
remember me, you left me in that liquor store to die
A minorAm               FF
Bartender stands frozen, like a deer caught in the headlights
 C majorC               G+G
I ask him for a couple shots for me and my old friend
  A minorAm                FF
He pours a couple bourbons, his old hands they are a tremblin'
 C majorC                 G+G       A minorAm
I turn around real slow and I say, "Danny, how ya' been?"


  A minorAm                  FF
He grins and takes the bourbon, says you know I'm gonna kill you
 C majorC                 G+G
I drink my shot and I say, "What the hell, it's only fair."
 A minorAm             FF
I tell him that I'm sorry, I left him for the buzzards.
 C majorC               G+G        A minorAm
a pistol shot rings out, I see a cowboy standing there
A minorAm               FF
Danny's on the floor, bleeding heavy from his belly
   C majorC               G+G
last thing that cowboy hears is my Colt singing its song
A minorAm                FF
bartender ain't movin', he says, "Man I ain't no hero!"
       C majorC               G+G        A minorAm
I tell him, "Funny thing about heroes, they don't last very long"


A minorAm              FF
Last time I saw Danny, he was dying there in Tulsa
C majorC               G+G
money from the register got me over the state line
A minorAm              FF
Last thing I told Danny was, "Man it was good to see you."
C majorC              G+G             A minorAm
When you're feeling better, you should look me up sometime.

When you're feeling better, why don't you look me up sometime.
