telegun, metal [C] blue,
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Bb]
[C] Scrawled across [Fm] the shoulders [Eb] _ [Ab] of a dying [Db] _

[C] _ _ [D] She took out her barrette [E] _ and [C]
[Dm] her [Bb] hair [C] spilled [Fm] out like root [Eb] beer.

Count [Dm] the [Bb] [C] grain _
[Fm] _ [Eb] elevators in [Ab]
the rear [Db] view [E] _
mirror.
_ [C] _ _ She said, [D] mister, anywhere [C] you point this thing,
[Dm] It's got to [Bb] be the hell out [C] of the _ stain.
[Dm] Of [Bb] going [Fm] to [Db] bed [E] with every [C] _
_ dream [Dm] that [Bb] dies here every [C] _ morning.

with [Dm] a barber [Bb] pole. _
[C] _ _ And [Db] I'm jumping [E] my parole [C] _
just [Bb] like a fugitive [C] tonight.
_ _ Why don't [Db] you have another [E] [C] swig _ _ [Dm] past [Bb] that car if [C] you're so brave?
