Alabama - Words At Twenty Paces (Chords, as recorded)

Words and Music by: Hugh Moffatt


{Intro}

Cm


{Verse 1}

     Cm                      Bb6
Just like a western movie, a challenge has been made.
  Ab                           G7
A shot was fired in anger, and pride stepped off the train.
Cm                      Bb6
Won't we ever stop this killin', me and you,
          Ab                                     G7
'till our hearts are up on Boot Hill and there's nothing we can do?


{Chorus - Variation 1}

Cm                     Bb
Words at twenty paces, anger at high noon.
           Ab                                G
This house   ain't big enough for both of us.  It's comin' soon.
      Cm                               Bb
We'll finish off our happiness and run    hope out of town.
        Ab                             G                  Cm     Gm7/C  Cm  Gm7
With words at twenty paces, Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.


{Bridge}

Cm   Gm7/C   Cm   Bb

Ab                           Eb
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share,
    Bb                G/B                Cm
the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care?
Ab                              Eb
Sometimes your words cut like a bullet in my side.
    Bb                                   G                      G7   Cm
Oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride?


{Verse 2}


Cm                    Bb6
Got my ammunition. I know you've got yours too.
   Ab                                    G7
We know each other's weakness, Lord, the damage we can do.
Cm                               Bb6
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away?
    Ab                               G7
Let love come like the cavalry, ride in and save the day?


(Repeat Chorus)


{Repeat and Fade}

Cm  Gm7/C    Cm  Gm7
