[Intro]

Dm Am C G Dm

[Verse 1]

Dm Am

Once I was a gamblin' man I kept my pistol by my hand

C Dm

Got my work done by the light of the moon

Dm Am

Evil deeds made up my mind I traded peace for troubled times

C Dm

Wickedness and whiskey were my fuel

F G Dm

Oh but now I keep locked away

[Chorus]

Dm Am

I might've hung up my shotgun But I didn't put it up so high

C G

That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why

Dm Am

Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

C Dm

Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way

F G Dm

Once I had a good run, But I hung up my shotgun

[Verse 2]

Dm Am

No one lives that life too long Just in time somebody came along

C Dm

With her help, I just might save my soul

Dm Am

Sometimes I wake up at night, Dreams of fire burnin' bright

C Dm

Pray that I don't ever lose control

F G Dm

And so now I keep locked away

[Chorus]

Dm Am

I might've hung up my shotgun But I didn't put it up so high

C G

That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why

Dm Am

Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

C Dm

Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way

F G Dm

Once I had a good run, But I hung up my shotgun
