Cry Cry Cry - Shades Of Gray


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: A minorAm  F-C-G  FF G+G A minorAm

          C majorC
We made Oklahoma a little after 3
G+G                  A minorAm
Randy, his brother Bob, in my old GMC
                C majorC
We had some moonshine whiskey, some of Bob's home-grown
    G+G                        A minorAm
We were so messed up, we didn't know if we were drunk or stoned

           C majorC
Randy was a sad sack, tall kinda frail
G+G                   A minorAm
Bob was a raving maniac, crazier than hell
                   C majorC
They'd been kicked outta high school, several years ago
  G+G                   A minorAm
For kicking over Porta-cans at the 4H rodeo


                     C majorC
Since then they done their little dance, right outside the law
    G+G                 A minorAm
Popped twice in Oklahoma and once in Arkansas
                   C majorC
And I don't know what possessed me to want to tag along
    G+G                       A minorAm
'Cause I was raised a Christian and I knew right from wrong


CHORUS:
FF            C majorC
Right or wrong, black or white
G+G              A minorAm
Cross the line, you're gonna pay
C majorC   G+G        A minorAm
In the dawn, before the light
FF    G+G         A minorAm
Live or die by shades of gray


                  C majorC
We stole two Charolais heifers from Randy's sweetheart's pa
  G+G                        A minorAm
And sold them at the livestock sale outside of Wichita
                C majorC
We got nine hundred dollars and never did suspect
  G+G                       A minorAm
The world of hurt we'd be in, once we cashed that check

                  C majorC
Next day we heard the story on the local radio
  G+G                      A minorAm
And made our plans that very night to go to Mexico
                    C majorC
And I swear we would've made it, if it wasn't for the shine
G+G                        A minorAm
I got sick about the time we crossed that Kansas line


CHORUS:
FF            C majorC
Right or wrong, black or white
G+G              A minorAm
Cross the line, you're gonna pay
C majorC   G+G        A minorAm
In the dawn before the light
FF    G+G        A minorAm
Live or die by shades of gray


INTERLUDE: A minorAm  F-C-G  FF G+G A minorAm


A minorAm              C majorC
I was lying in the bar-ditch, praying I would die
    G+G                         A minorAm
When a light came on above us and a voice called from the sky
                C majorC
A augmentedA half dozen unmarked cars came screeching to a halt
   G+G                           A minorAm
They grabbed Bob, he started screaming, that it was all my fault


                     C majorC
There were men and dogs and helicopters, flying all around
       G+G                       A minorAm
They had the brothers on the pickup hood and me down on the ground
                 C majorC
Then Bob flew all to pieces, but Randy he held tight
    G+G                       A minorAm
When a black man in a suit and tie, stepped into the light
                     C majorC
He told his men to turn us loose and they put down their guns
     G+G                       A minorAm
He said, "These are just some sorry kids, they ain't the ones"


CHORUS:
FF            C majorC
Right or wrong, black or white
G+G              A minorAm
Cross the line, you're gonna pay
C majorC   G+G        A minorAm
In the dawn before the light
FF    G+G        A minorAm
Live or die by shades of gray


                   C majorC
So they left us by the roadside, downhearted and alone
G+G                         A minorAm
Randy got behind the wheel, said, "Boys I'm going home"
                    C majorC
So we turned 'round and faced our fate, hung over but alive
    G+G                A minorAm
On that morning Oklahoma, late April, '95
