A                                   D            G
The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm
A                                        D                   G
I shot 'em dead and I hung my head, and drove off his in his car
A                                   D              G
So on the run with a smokin' gun, lookin' for the coast
A                                          D               G
Of all the things I've had and lost, your love I miss the most


     D         A       G
And hell will have to pay,
    A                            D
I went a little bit too far I'd say

Half drunk I stumble on the whiskey from the bar
Sleepin' on the Santa Monica pier with the junkies and the stars
For when I woke a spanish cross, was reachin' for my hand
Then the stranger took the place, with words I couldn't understand

And there's nothin' but the ground, it's the only place I found
Where I can lay my head in town

Down on the boulevard, the sidewalk shuffles change
Cracked out from the night before, hallucinatin' in the rain
So I borrowed me a quarter for a call to the other side
I told God that the whole damn world was waitin' in line to die

     D     A      G
But not me, this time
             D      A     G
I left the trouble far behind
        A                           D
And he tied his arm off one more time
 
   A                               D            G
The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm
