A Moment of Forever


INTRO: D  G  D  G  D

D                                    G 
The moment that you saw him you just looked the other way
D                    G              D
The blood within his eye was like a curse
   D                                G
He had two heavy pistols which were greased up and ready
      D               G            D
And a face like Bobby Dylan's only worse
G
He ordered up a whiskey which he drank like he was thirsty
D            A             D
Ordered him another of the same
D                           G
Suddenly the silence of the frozen room was shattered
     D              G                  D
By a kid who shot before he called his name
G          
He looked up at his killer from the floor where he had fallen
          D                  A                D
Said well look what you have gone and done to me
        D                                  G 
He said son I think you blew it but you're truly welcome to it
D              G          D
You can be the new mister me, yeah


CHORUS:
D
You can be the new mister me me me
                                      E       A
Ain't it true that's what you want to be, yessiree-bob
    D                                  G
And I'll be somewhere sunny where it's funny and it's free
    D              G          D
And you can be the new mister me


SOLO

D                                      G
Well I was there the day they say that Bobby Dylan died
D              G            D
You and I both know he got away
     D                                G 
He's out there stealin horses, really learnin' how to ride
D               G           D
He's the reason I am free today, singin'


CHORUS
