Intro:
F G Am

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

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


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


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

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