Ballad of a Dead Man

Bm Em (Bend 9th fret on b string then land on 9th fret g string)

[Bm]Run[Em] little rabbit, cant break the habit for none
[Bm]Sha[Em]pes like a rocket and shoots like a pocket gun
[Bm]Eve[Em]ry [Bm]mot[Em]hers son has spent a lifetime on the run

[G]On[A]e [D]by one and two by two
[Bm]Our hearts beat a rhythm true
[G]Wa[A]ve[D] goodbye now baby blue
[Bm]You[G]'re exploding like a star into the gloom

[A]I [G]thought I could shut you in
[A]You said 'Baby let me out'
[G]I [Bm]tho[Em]ught that I could pick you up and roll you like a dice

There's hitchhikers thumbing on the verge of the lovers highway
But we just roll on by with the top down, the sun's out
I'm so glad when you came along you happened to be going my way
The wheels roll round and round

One by one and two by two
Our hearts beat a rhythm true
Wave goodbye now baby blue
You're exploding like a star in the room

[A]I [G]thought I could shut you in
[A]You said "baby pull me out"
[G]I [A]thought that I could pick you up and roll you like a dice to get close to you,
[G]I could feel it coming in, here they come
[A]They're coming one by one coming two by two
[G]They're coming one by one coming two by two

[D] [F#m]

[A]Ye[G]ah, if I ever let you down
[A]If[G] anything should come to bleed you dry or cut you out
[D]Do[F#m]n’t turn me away

Yeah I never meant to spin you round
If anybody comes to do you harm or pin you down
[D]I'[F#m]ll take your place
