D Bm G G/F# Em A D

[Verse 1]
 D
Jimmy was a small town kid
     Bm
The only thing that he ever did
     G                             A
Was cross the south side railroad track
  D
Annie was a small town girl
     Bm
She wanted so bad to see the world
 G            A                     D
Get on that train she'd never look back

[Chorus]
 G            A
Throw caution to the wind
       D     D/C#     Bm
Don't ever turn your head
  G           A                D
Cause in the end we'll all be dead
 G            A
Make ‘em open up their ears
      D    D/C#     Bm
And listen to your song
  G              A                     D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong

[Verse 2]
 D
Heading fast out of town
 Bm
West on fifty one
 G                               A
Half a pack of cigarettes and a glove compartment gun
 D
Running a little bit short on gas
 Bm
She said I'll step in and pay
 G                             A              D
Got a pocket full of cash they made their getaway

[Chorus]
 G            A
Throw caution to the wind
       D     D/C#     Bm
Don't ever turn your head
  G           A                D
Cause in the end we'll all be dead
 G            A
Make ‘em open up their ears
      D    D/C#     Bm
And listen to your song
  G              A                     D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong

[Verse 3]
 D
Arizona sun sinking
 Bm
slowly in the sand
 G                              A
Got a bag of twenty bills and a sack of contraband
 D
Stepping down on his foot
 Bm
give this thing some gas
 G                                         A            D
The lights in the rear view mirror they're coming on us fast

[Verse 4]
  D
Just like the wind here came the end
 Bm
They never saw it come
 G                                  A
Jimmy knew his fate was sealed when Annie grabbed her gun
 D
The same old broken story
 Bm
I know you've heard it too
 G                                       A              D
They went out in a blaze of glory with a hand held twenty-two

[Chorus]
 G            A
Throw caution to the wind
       D     D/C#     Bm
Don't ever turn your head
  G           A                D
Cause in the end we'll all be dead
 G            A
Make ‘em open up their ears
      D    D/C#     Bm
And listen to your song
  G              A                     D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong
G            A
Make em open up their ears
      D    D/C#     Bm
And listen to your song
  G               A                   D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong
