[A]
[D]
[F#] [G]
I'm not going.
[D]
[A]
I'm not going.
I'm not going.
[G] [A]
High up on a rocky ledge, holding all she's got.
[E] It ain't much except a shattered dream and broken heart.
[A] He used her up, made her old before her time.
[Bm] She's gonna take that final step [A] and leave her pain behind.
All the sins that men commit before they're done.
[G] Her love her pack into [Am] one lying silver tone.
[Dm] She won't speak his name, [Em] it's too much [C] to bear.
[F] But I saw his face [G] as he left her there.
[Am] Oh,
[G] [Am] [Dm] Shaw look [Em] no lot like [Am] me.
Shaw look no lot like me.
Oh,
[G] [Am] [Dm] Shaw look [Em] no lot like [A] me.
He was just a boy, barely 17.
[G] Feeling drunk and talking tough [Am] but he wasn't really mean.
Bumped into this sidewinder, should have backed away.
[G] Gave him some lip, turned out they were [A] the last words he would say.
All the sins that men commit before they're done.
[G] His killer pack into [A] one smoking silver gun.
[Dm] None asked his name, [C] nobody dared.
[F] But I saw his face [G] as the blue smoke cleared.
[Am] Oh,
[G] [Am] [Dm] Shaw [Em] look no lot like [A] me.
Shaw look no lot like [Am] me.
Oh, [G] [Am] [Dm] Shaw [Em] look no lot like [Am] me.
Devil came and said, [G] sinner finally you're all mine.
[F] Pardon me Mr.
Devil, [Am] but I think I need more time.
I've got a lot of mending [A] up in life to do.
The devil [F] said, you should have thought of that before [E] I came for you.
[Am] Take this rope and [A] wind it once for every lie.
[F] Once for every thoughtless act, [Am] twice for tears that cry.
[A] Walked 50 miles naked in the desert sun.
[Am] Ran for the souls that you have ruined one by one.
[Dm] None knew his name, [Em] nobody [C] cared.
[F] But I saw his face [G] as he was [G] hanging there.
[A] Oh,
[G] [Am] [Dm] Shaw [Em] look no lot [A] like me.
Shaw look no lot like me.
Oh, [G] [Am] [Dm] Shaw [Em] look no lot [Am] like me.
[A] Oh,
[G] [A] [Dm] Shaw [Em] look no lot [A] like me.
Shaw look no lot like me.
