Lyrics

GUNFIGHTER

CHORD STRUCTURE
EMJ-C-AMN-D REPEAT

LEANING UP AGAINST THE BAR
WITH A WHISKEY IN MY HAND
I STARED DOWN AT MY 45S
CAUSE THEYRE MY BEST OLD FRIENDS

I JUST PULLED IN TO THIS OLD GHOST TOWN
FROM TWO MONTHS ON THE TRAIL
WITH THE NOON SUN BLISTERS ON MY FACE
AND MY HARD TACK IT WENT STALE

CHORUS

A GUN FIGHTER YEAHHHHHH
A GUN FIGHTER, ANOTHER GUN FIGHTER

WELL I TILTED UP MY WHISKEY GLASS
AND I RESTED UP MY FEET
AND THEN I HEARD MY NAME SCREAMED OUT
FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE STREET

I STEPPED THROUGH THOSE SWINGING DOORS
AND OUT OF THE SALOON
A SILOUETTE WAS STANDING THERE
IN THE STREETS DARK GLOOM

CHORUS

A GUN FIGHTER YEAHHHHHH
A GUN FIGHTER, ANOTHER GUN FIGHTER

I BEGGED THE BOY DON?T TRY ME
FOR YOUR LIFE ID LIKE TO SAVE
THEY?LL BURY YOU IN THE MORNING
AND PUT A WOODEN CROSS ON YOUR GRAVE

BUT HE HAD TO MANY WHISKEYS
AND THE BOY WAS FEELING BRAVE
HE SAID GUN FIGHTER MAKE YOUR MOVE
BECAUSE TODAY?S MY LUCKY DAY

CHORUS

A GUN FIGHTER YEAHHHHHH
A GUN FIGHTER, ANOTHER GUN FIGHTER

I STUCK MY PISTOLS IN MY HOLSTER
WITH THE BARRELS SMOKING HOT
I TURNED AROUND TO WALK AWAY
I DIDN?T CARE WHO I HAD SHOT

THE BOY WAS BARELY 16 YEARS
GIVE OR TAKE A DAY
AND HIS MOTHER CRIED ABOVE HIS BODY
I COULD STILL HEAR HER SAY

SO LONG GUN FIGHTER
GOOD BYE GUN FIGHTER
SON, YOU WERE MY GUNFIGHTER

MY GRANDPA TOLD ME STORIES
TOOK PLACE LONG AGO
FIGHTING INDIANS ON THE GREAT PLAINS
IN MINNESOTA SNOW

HE WAS A PONY SOILDER
ALWAYS RIDING WITH THE WIND
AND HE SAID SON, YOU KNOW SOMETIMES
I WISH THE KILLING WOULD SOON END

CHORUS

BUT THEY PUT POISON IN THE WATER
AT THE WATERING HOLE
YEAH THEY PUT POISON IN THE WATER
AT THE WATERING HOLE
YEAH THEY PUT POISON IN THE WATER
AND HE SAID GET UP AND LETS GO
