C                       G/B
 I just came in here to spend my money
Am                           F
That’s fifteen dollars I had less this week
C                        G
Livin’ off that social security
Am                            F
Sometimes I don’t have enough left to eat

C                         G
 My cars just fine if the gas can mix with the air
Am                         F
Friday night clothes still fit alright
C                    G
 I came down here to hear the blues
Am                       F
 The guitar man with the worn-out shoes

C                               G
 The kids came in, I guess they let the ills in
Am                   F
 The fire breathed tonight
C                             G
 I would have got here early, got a better spot
        Am                          F
But the train stopped and slowed my time

C                                G
 My hearin’ ain’t too good as it used to be
         Am                                F
And that blues man must’ve put them cotton balls in his mouth again
C                        G
 And them noisy kids are itchin’ in my back
Am                     F
 As I look back with a deadly glare

C                       G
 But the red eyes had already disappeared
                  Am                              F
I guess they were raised on the other side of the tracks
C                               G
 I don’t give a damn what their tattoos mean
       Am                        F
Or the women they’ve been chasin’ in their dreams, yeah

C                      G
 It’s the same old sad story
                            Am   F
Heartbreak and love gone to waste
C                            G                   Am   F
 I guess they lost their box full of that Lord’s grace
C                              G
 I just sittin’ here tryin’ to mind my own business
Am                           F
 A slug of beer landed on my shoulder

C
Well that was years ago but I never forget
    G                                  Am
The same type of kids hoverin’ again behind me
         F                       G
Then one yelled out a hoop and a yip, hoo!
C                              Am
 The scratchin’ sounds started me a little bit
     F                            G
As I turned around and I used one hell of a shush

C                                    Am
“Shush, be quiet!” I told them, they could see my eyes
    F                         G
The guitar man is callin’ the angels tonight
C                              Am
 And I spent my last dollar to get in here
F                             G
 Got a quart of soup and some overripe bananas
C                                   Am
 It might just make it through next Tuesday’s check
F                             G
 But as soon as that dragon behind me

C                               Am
 And I fired up a little bit as if I grazed a nerve
F                                 G                         C
 He didn’t take too kindly then I heard him speak about his 45
  Am                              F
I looked back to see he was packin’
C                   G                 Am
 So I reached in my purse to pull out my Smith & Wesson

F               G                         C            Am
 And I swore he pulled on me first and it all seemed a blur
    F             G
And I guess I overreacted
N.C.
[Beat guitar]

C             Am                  F       G
 Everyone was scared of what just happened
     C                 Am
He’s bleedin’ from the top to bottom
  F                        G
I swear he reached for his gun first

C             Am                      F                   G
 Was it after I shot him? I guess the good Lord knows the truth
              C         Am
I just wanted him to be quiet
        F                G                 C           Am
But the fire rose in his eyes and I feared for all our lives
