bullet in his belly and a couple fingers gone.

thought about him dying, like a dog as I was leaving
C                                                                         G                                                    Am  
He's the one who always said, "Take the money and run."

perfect plan is perfect, up until something goes wrong

C                                                                                    G  
hear a voice behind me say, "One move and it's goodbye."

I ask him for a couple shots for me and my old friend
        Am                                                                                 F  
He pours a couple bourbons, his old hands they are a tremblin'
     C                                                                                      G                                    Am  
I turn around real slow and I say, "Danny, how ya' been?"
        Am                                                                                              F  
He grins and takes the bourbon, says you know I'm gonna kill you
     C                                                                                         G  
I drink my shot and I say, "What the hell, it's only fair."
     Am                                                                 F  
I tell him that I'm sorry, I left him for the buzzards.
     C                                                                              G                                      Am  
a pistol shot rings out, I see a cowboy standing there
Am                                                                            F  
Danny's on the floor, bleeding heavy from his belly
             C                                                                            G

I tell him, "Funny thing about heroes, they don't last very long"
Am                                                                         F  
Last time I saw Danny, he was dying there in Tulsa
C                                                                              G  
money from the register got me over the state line
Am                                                                         F  
Last thing I told Danny was, "Man it was good to see you."
C                                                                      G                                                                 Am  
When you're feeling better, you should look me up sometime.
When you're feeling better, why don't you look me up sometime.
