Key: G
Introduction:
G D
Hey Patty Garrett, that's what I used to call you.
G D
They tell me you want me, but I here they've got you.
G D
They made you a law man, with a badge made of silver.
A7 D
They paid you some money to sell them my blood.
D7 G D
But you say: This ain't about me and this ain't about you,
A7 D
Or the good and the bad times, we've both been through.
D7 G D
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed,
A7 D
You do what you've got to, 'cause you can't walk away.
G D
I wonder what would have happened if you were the killer
G D
and I was the hero, would things be the same?
G D
Or would I have traded your life for my own life?
A7 D
Would I have paid your debts in your place?
D7 G D
I don't know. But this ain't about me and this ain't about you,
A7 D
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through.
D7 G D
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed,
A7 D
You do what you've got to, 'cause you can't walk away.
G D
Blood Money, that's what I call it,
A7 D D7
'cause money for blood, ain't no fair exchange.
G D
Blood Money, bought and then sold you,
A7 D
but your conscience is all you can take to your grave.
(Repeat Chorus)
G D A7 D
