Intro:   D    G    A    G   F#(bass only)  Em  G  
DLinden Arden stole the GhighliAghtsG  
        G   F#(bass)          Em  G  
With one hand tied behind his back
Loved the morning sun, and whiskey
Ran like water in his veins
Loved to go to church on Sunday
Even though he was a drinking man
When the boys came to San Francisco
They were looking for his life
But he found out where they were drinking
Met them face to face outside
Cleaved their heads off with a hatchet
Lord, he was a drinkin' man
And when someone tried to get above him
He just took the law into his own hands 
Linden Arden stole the highlights
And they put his fingers through the glass
He had heard all those stories many, many times before
And he did not know nor care to ask
And he loved the little children like they were his very own
You say, "Someday it may get lonely."
Now he's livin', livin' with a gun

D G A G

Linden Arden stole the highlights

G F# Em G

(bass)

With one hand tied behind his back

Loved the morning sun, and whiskey

Ran like water in his veins

Loved to go to church on Sunday

Even though he was a drinking man

When the boys came to San Francisco

They were looking for his life

But he found out where they were drinking

Met them face to face outside

Cleaved their heads off with a hatchet

Lord, he was a drinkin' man

And when someone tried to get above him

He just took the law into his own hands

Linden Arden stole the highlights

And they put his fingers through the glass

He had heard all those stories many, many times before

And he did not know nor care to ask

And he loved the little children like they were his very own

You say, "Someday it may get lonely."

Now he's livin', livin' with a gun
