Intro:
D G
I’d say I’m a lover not a fighter, I’d never stare nobody down
A
Til one night my girl I could not find her,
she never made it back from
D
town
G
I found my Shannon cryin in the woods,
a wicked man he held her down
A
I stuck him deep and I buried him good,
D
not deep enough to fool the hounds
Chorus:
D G D
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky,
A D
I bought a gun an made Shannon my wife
G D
We jumped in a box car to old mexico……
A D
Where I aint worth a penny on my bounty back home
A D
No I ain’t worth a penny on my bounty back home.
Verse:
D G
That train stopped in Tijuana, we built a shack beneath the sun
A D
I make my Shannon margaritas, we watch our childre laugh and run
..run..run
G
Sometimes I miss my daddy, sometimes I miss my mom
A D
I think they’d be real proud of me, to know the man
that I’ve become
