Bullets In The Gun

Intro  [D]

They used to  [D] call me lightenin', I was always quick to strike
Had every- [C] thing I own in the saddles on my bike
I  [G] had a reputation for never stayin' very long
Just like a  [D] wild and restless drifter like a  [C] cowboy in a song [D]

I met a  [D] darkhaired beauty where they laid the whiskey down
In  [C] southern Arizona, in a little border town
She  [G] had to dance for money in that dusty old saloon
I dropped a  [D] dollar in the jukebox,  [C] played that girl a tune, yeah [D]

(Chorus)
 [G] Never see it comin' just  [C] hits you by sur- [G] prise,.-
It's that  [D] cold place in your soul, that  [A] fire in her eye
 [C] Makes you come together like wild  [G] horses when they run
Now, the  [D] cards are on the table and the  [C] bullets in the gun  [D]

She was  [D] sittin' on my lap, we still had shots to kill
When a  [C] man pulled up who owned the bar in a cadillac deville
He  [G] grabbed her by her raven hair and threw her in the floor
Said, "No  [D] free ride for the cowboy that ain't  [C] what I pay you for, no" [D]

She jumped  [D] up and grabbed my pistol stuck it in the fat man's back
Said, " [C] Open up the safe, put your money in the sack"
 [G] Tied his hands behind him and blindfolded his eyes
Said, "If you're  [D] dumb enough to chase us, man, you're  [C] dumb enough to die"  [D]

(Chorus)
 [G] Never see it comin' just  [C] hits you by sur- [G] prise,.-
It's that  [D] cold place in your soul, that  [A] fire in her eye
 [C] Makes you come together like wild horses when they run
Now, the  [D] cards are on the table and the  [C] bullets in the gun [D]

Inst.:  |  [D]   |  [A]   |  [C]   |  [D]  ---

We  [D] rode across the border down into Mexico
When you're  [C] runnin' from the law, ain't that where everybody goes
We  [G] came to a town with a name I couldn't spell
She  [D] gave me what I came for in that  [C] Mexican motel [D]

 [D] I woke up to sirens and the sound of runnin' feet
There were  [C] 50 Federales locked and loaded in the street
She  [G] grabbed my 44, I grabbed the money in the sack
I  [D] kissed her for the last time and we  [C] headed out the back [D]

 [D] Every gun was on us and every heartbeat poundin'
The  [C] only thing left to do when they got you all surrounded
She  [G] fired that old pistol, but we didn't stand a prayer
 [D] Money hit the gravel,  [C] bullets filled the air [D]

(Chorus)
 [G] Never see it comin' just  [C] hits you by sur- [G] prise,.-
It's that  [D] cold place in your soul, that  [A] fire in her eye
 [C] Makes you come together like wild  [G] horses when they run
Now, the  [D] cards are on the table and the  [C] bullets in the gun
