Funny Thing About Heroes chords by Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Guitar chords with lyrics
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.
