• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: D

Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:
D (x4)

Verse:
     D
Well here's what happens when you fall for a pistol
No no I don't mean no gun
     A
I'm talkin' 'bout a man with bells and whistles
     G                    (F-E-D-F-E-D-B-D)
The kind that keeps your heart on the run
  D
I met that cat in a two-bit juke joint
Took my money in a game of pool
A

Next thing I knew I was sittin' 'hind the eight-ball
G
Playin' my heart
G                   (D-F-F#-G-G-G-G-G-A-Bb-B-C)
Breakin' all the rules
C                        G
Throw your rope 'round a runaway freight train
D
You know it's gonna drag you down the track
C                              G
You dust your britches off and tell yourself you're insane
A                                    (A-Bb-B-C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#-A))
But every time you love a man like that

Chorus:
        D      F F# G
You get lost
        D      F F# G
You get lonely
        D      F F# G
You get calls
         G     F   D
From the police
          D      F F# G
Tell your mama
                D      F F# G
Don't know what happened
     A
Well you wanted trouble
Now you got a fistful
N.C.
That's what happens
When you fall for a pistol

Interlude:
D D D D A A G G (G)(G)

Verse:
D
Well you'd think by now I'd learned my lesson

But I keep makin' them same mistakes
A
Must be some clue I keep missin'
G                               (D-F-F#-G-G-G-G-G-A-Bb-B-C)
How many times can a good heart break
C                  G
I keep fallin' for all them bad boys
D
Poor or rich as dirt
C               G
Lots of fun and I ain't jokin'
    A
But every time I think I won't get hurt

Chorus:
        D      F F# G

Tell your mama
                D      F F# G
Don't know what happened
     A
Well you wanted trouble
Now you got a fistful
N.C.
That's what happens
When you fall for a pistol

* I actually prefer to play with drop D tuning.
* Things in parentheses are small bridges or passages that add something to the tune.
* Weird song that is both straight and shuffle and in between at the same time.
