       Em
Well I turned and shut my eyes as you let the gravel fly
       Em         D                   Em
When I looked up, you had cleared the driveway
        Em
You and your big cloud of dust, all your chrome and all your rust
G              D                Em      
Beggin' to lay scattered on the highway


Well, I have not forgotten when we may as well been kin
Raise hell from here to Bryan County
Wishing I could let you in, give you shelter from the wind
But that hurricane ain't coming down around me


Chorus:
        G                  D              Am                 Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G              D              Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail
             G                   D              Am          Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for Is easy in the finding
         Em              D      Em
Well the devil's in the fine detail


Well I nearly took your lead with your pistol and your speed
Shoot to kill and plan to be forgiven
But in between the mill and whatever deer I kill
Truth be told I barely make a living

Chorus


Bridge:
    G          D            Am      G 
And you're somewhere in the winding stair 
G                                 Em
Thinking you still got a trick or two
           Am                G            D       Em
And you're planning out your fight in the lantern light
    Am                              Em      Am                              Em
But I don't see this going well for you, no I don't see this going well for you


Instrumental


Well the sheriff's came last night, is everything alright
Ask for any help that I can give
No we had a falling out, Well then what's this all about
They said the man who's shot is gonna live

Chorus
