A augmentedA          G+G                    FF
Well, I was there to buy a pistol She was there to hawk her ring
   G+G       C minorCm             B minorBm
The broker in the pawnshop Deals in almost anything.
FF                  B minorBm
Hell pay you for your misery Or hell sell you someone's pain
      A augmentedA          G minorGm              C minorCm BB - G+G
And that twinkle in his greedy eye Says your loss will be his gain.

C minorCm                  B minorBm
She stood back in the shadows As the broker dealt with me
   G+G         C minorCm
Her eyes were dark and desperate From some private misery.
          C minorCm           F minorFm
His words were so prophetic When he said you got a steal
  A augmentedA           G minorGm           C minorCm
I said throw in one bullet and you got yourself a deal.

                  BB
Oh, a Saturday night special Is an easy thing to buy
    C minorCm             BB
All you got to be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie.
   F minorFm               C minorCm
Just hand the man money And if some ones gotta die
A augmentedA             G minorGm           C majorC
The broker in the pawnshop   won't even blink an eye.

                     BB
Well, he handed me the pistol and I was almost to the door
    C minorCm           B minorBm          C minorCm
When I heard him tell the lady Seven dollars nothing more.
   G+G               BB
The lady started crying as he took her wedding band
    A augmentedA                G+G       C majorC
Well, my hand was in my pocket and the gun was in my hand.

 C majorC
Well I was gonna use that bullet to end my life
        G+G                  FF
I was once somebody's husband she was once somebody's wife.

Well, I usually mind my business, but I could not walk away
   A augmentedA               G+G           C majorC  G+G  D MajorD
His dollars just weren't making sense  and I knew I had to stay.

Well, the brokers face turned pasty when he caught my icy stare

It would never leave my pocket, but he knew the gun was there.

I asked him what his life was worth and he opened up that drawer
    DmDm            A augmentedA         D MajorD
For a simple golden wedding band  He paid $2000 more.

              G+G      C majorC
That Saturday night was special even though it wasn't planned
  D MajorD                 C majorC
As we walked down the sidewalk She reached and took my hand.
         G minorGm              D MajorD
We crossed the bridge and I took that gun and sailed it through the air
                      A augmentedA           D MajorD
I said,  Ever been to Texas? She said,  I think Id love it there.

                  C majorC
Oh, a Saturday night special is an easy thing to buy
     D MajorD              C majorC
All you got to be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie
        G minorGm                D MajorD
But there's a pawnshop in the city, that used to deal in everything
                   A augmentedA               D MajorD

THE END!
