Intro A augmentedA D MajorD G+G x 4
      A augmentedA          D MajorD G+G
Well, you know your time has come
      A augmentedA           D MajorD G+G
And you're sorry for what you've done
        D MajorD                         A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
You should've never been playing with a gun in those complicated shadows
         A augmentedA         D MajorD G+G
Well, there's a line that you must toe
       A augmentedA       D MajorD G+G
And it will soon be time to go
        D MajorD                   A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G  A augmentedA D MajorD
But it's darker than you know in those complicated shadows

      G+G                   D MajorD
All you gangsters and rude clowns,  Who were shooting up the town
      E MajorE                  A augmentedA  D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
When you should've found someone to put the blame on
      G+G               D MajorD
Though the fury's hot and hard,  I still see that cold graveyard
      E MajorE
There's a solitary stone that's got your name on

      A augmentedA          D MajorD G+G
You don't have to take it from me
    A augmentedA       D MajorD G+G
But I know of what I spake
      A augmentedA           D MajorD G+G
You think you're like iron and steel
       E MajorE                        A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G  A augmentedA  D MajorD G+G
But iron and steel will bend and break in these complicated shadows

No... (solo)  A augmentedA  D MajorD G+G x3  A augmentedA D MajorD

      G+G                 D MajorD
Sometimes justice, you will find,  Is just dumb not color blind
     E MajorE                 A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G  A augmentedA D MajorD
And your poor shattered mind can't take it all in
       G+G                  D MajorD
All those phantoms and their shades, Should jump up on Judgement Day
   E MajorE
And say to the Almighty "I'm still stinking of sin"

     A augmentedA      D MajorD G+G
But the jury was dismissed
     A augmentedA            D MajorD G+G
Took his neck and they gave it a twist
    D MajorD                        A augmentedA  D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
So you see, you won't be missed in those complicated shadows
     A augmentedA         D MajorD G+G
You can say just what you like
   A augmentedA           D MajorD G+G
In a voice like a John Ford film
     A augmentedA       D MajorD G+G
Take the law into your hands
       D MajorD                        A augmentedA  D MajorD G+G
And you will soon get tired of killing in those complicated shadows
       A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G
