Verse 1
(D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor) Some punk with a shotgun
killed (C major) young Danny Bailey
(B minor) In cold blood,
in the lobby of a (C major) downtown motel
(B minor) Killed him in anger,
(D major) a (C major) force he couldn't handle
(E minor) Helped pull the trigger that
(F major) cut short his life
And there's (A minor) not many knew
him the way (B flat major) that we did
Sure enough (A minor) he was a wild one,
but then aren't (B flat major) most hungry kids, oh, (A minor) (G major) oh? (F major) (E minor)

(B minor) So mark his grave well (C major) 'cause
Kentucky loved him
(E minor) Born and raised a proper,
I guess (F major) life just bugged him, and he
(A minor) Found faith in danger, (Dsus4)
(A minor) a lifestyle (B flat major) he lived by
A (A minor) run ning-gun youngster youngster in a (B flat major) sad,
restless age, oh, oh
