Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
E minorEm
Crazy little child
C majorC
Never got to see
E minorEm            BB
All the pretty things in life
 B7B7
Had him put away
E minorEm
Nothing they could say
    C majorC          BB
Could ever make the pieces fit
     E minorEm
Aw well, Daddy-o was rich
C majorC
Mama was a bitch
E minorEm           BB
Living wasn't easy in between
B7B7
Behind his silent scream
E minorEm
Jackson, in his teens
   C majorC    BB   E minorEm
Was planning his escape

Chorus:
      G+G
He was a crazy little child
   D MajorD
New Orleans Alley playground
D7D7
Grimy faced
 D7D7           E minorEm
He watched the hookers cry
 G+G             D MajorD
Winos were his friends and when he talked to them
       D7D7                 BB
They said, "Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by"

Verse 2:
E minorEm
Depression settin' in
C majorC
Desp'rate, cool and quick
E minorEm                   BB
Jackson learned the ropes out on the street
 B7B7
Little candy stores
 E minorEm
Just pickin' locks and doors
   C majorC        BB      E minorEm
Was practice for a two bit petty thief
  E minorEm
So Jackson went to Ritz
   C majorC
And ev'ryone was hip
E minorEm                 BB
Ritz ran all the rackets there in town
    B7B7
If you need another boy
  E minorEm
A augmentedA trigger or a blade
E minorEm   C majorC          BB
Well, I'm the slickest cat around
    E minorEm
Yeah, Ritz gave him the eye
   C majorC
Once over, then he smiled
 E minorEm                BB
"Yeah, I've got something here in mind
    B7B7
If you meet me here at two
  E minorEm
I think you'll like the view
        C majorC       BB         E minorEm
Of that long green when you crack that safe tonight"

Chorus:
      G+G
He was a crazy little child
   D MajorD
New Orleans Alley playground
D7D7
Grimy faced
 D7D7           E minorEm
He watched the hookers cry
 G+G             D MajorD
Winos were his friends and when he talked to them
       D7D7                 BB
They said, "Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by" that's right

Verse 3:
E minorEm
Well, I'll wait for you outside
         C majorC
And I'll be your ears and your eyes
     E minorEm                      BB
And boy, you just slip in there and bring out all that loot
       B7B7
But Ritz was taken by surprise
      E minorEm
Couple of unspected guys
      C majorC     BB   E minorEm
And they left poor Jackson inside

Instrumental solo:

E minorEm Em E minorEm C majorC C majorC C majorC  E minorEm Em E minorEm BB B BB

B7B7 B7 B7B7 E minorEm Em E minorEm C majorC C majorC C majorC  BB B BB

B7B7 B7 B7B7 E minorEm Em E minorEm C majorC C majorC C majorC  BB B BB

Verse 4:
 E minorEm
Questions there were few
  C majorC
In fact there were none
 E minorEm                  BB
When those Sheriff's bullets start to fly
     B7B7
He lay dying on the floor
     E minorEm
With a smokin' forty-four
       C majorC       BB     E minorEm
He said, "I must admit the winos were right"

E minorEm
Crazy little child
 C majorC
Never got to see
 E minorEm            BB
All the pretty things in life
   B7B7
We buried him today
 E minorEm
Nothing we could say
    C majorC          BB
Could ever make the pieces fit
     C majorC       BB     E minorEm
Yeah, I must admit the winos were right
    C majorC        BB     E minorEm
Oh, I must admit the winos were right
      C majorC
His last words were
          BB      BB  BB C majorC E minorEm
