Chords with lyrics

Intro
E minorEm          A minorAm            G+G     C majorC FF C majorC
Well in this town that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes

verse 1
C majorC            DmDm   FF        C majorC
Say seven words for the sailors over out on the sea
C majorC                 DmDm   FF
But there ain't no saint just for killers
FF              C majorC
No mama's going to pray for me
C majorC              DmDm     G+G
Well I was blown here by the wind
G+G          C majorC
To a rusty city left unnamed
C majorC            DmDm    G+G
The dusty singing cowboy died here
G+G          C majorC
He's still doing tombstone things
FF               C majorC
And he knew how hard it was to cry
FF                 C majorC
This evil darling, this deep blue sky
FF                C majorC  G+G
To be the rain in a dying man's eye
G+G                 FF
Cry for water and you get no reply
FF                  C majorC G+G
Beg for mercy and laughter fills the sky

E minorEm    A minorAm
Dog Town morning she cries
E minorEm          A minorAm
Barrels' views up are right on in your eye
E minorEm         A minorAm
Dog Town There's no fruit from acid rain
E minorEm           A minorAm
Go see if the coffin kid has a lid that bears your name
E minorEm      DmDm         G+G      C majorC  FF C majorC
In this town, that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes

verse 2
C majorC                DmDm
You've heard of lamp-lit haciendas
FF                 C majorC
With wide-eyed girls who haunt the night
C majorC            DmDm
But the senoritas you've befriended
FF                       C majorC
Cut the stars all out of the mirrors of their eyes
C majorC           DmDm   G+G
She sent seven shotgun shells
G+G            C majorC
Into the netherworld of Hell
C majorC                DmDm
She slaughtered nine five white chickens
G+G           C majorC    FF
So you can never break her spell
FF                    C majorC  FF
Follow her down boy and you're bound to die
FF                     C majorC
Down in canyons Beyond the blind people's eye
FF                      C majorC   G+G
She'll leave your bones Down in the haunted ground
G+G                   FF
The hutchie wooden guarding your soul
FF               C majorC      G+G
Dead like a rock nevermore to roam

E minorEm    A minorAm
Dog Town morning, she cries
E minorEm               A minorAm
Barrels from the shotgun blaze right between your eyes
E minorEm         A minorAm
Dog Town there's no fruit from acid rain
E minorEm               A minorAm
Go see if the coffin kid has a lid that bears your name
E minorEm    A minorAm
Dog Town morning she cries
E minorEm               A minorAm
Barrels from the shotgun blaze right between your eyes
E minorEm          A minorAm
Bad dreams boys of my last night's Dog Town fight
E minorEm               A minorAm
Go see if the coffin kid has a box to fit your size
E minorEm      DmDm         G+G      C majorC  FF C majorC
In this town, that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes
