[G]
Charlie drove his Harley into Dewey's Lot of [C] Grill,
Walked that hog in the [G] middle of the floor.
Said, where's that dirty coward that I come in here to kill?
[D] Said, Charlie, he just ran out the back door.
[G] Then Charlie heard that Mustang fire up in Beale Down [C] Street,
All the dies and through it [G] all the intrusion.
[C] He headed after Richard [G] Crater,
Then that creep was gonna [D] pay for what he did.
[G] Charlie's sister, Susan,
He chased the Mustang up 49,
Heading for the county [Em] line,
Richard feels the sweat pour [G] from his crown.
Charlie pulled his Ford forward and drew a beat on that [D] Ford,
But then he had to swerve and miss the count.
[G] He left Highway 49, doing [C] 129,
Landed in a heap [G] of chrome fumes.
[C] Rolled up, sailed by the [G] flood,
Wiped his eyes and killed [Bm] everybody,
But that rich McCray was [G] a swain to see.
He started up that big old hog and headed straight on through [C] the barn,
To hell on the hill and [G] killed the past.
McCray thought that it was home free,
Then Charlie burst out of [D] the tree,
Then Richard and all his friends came riding in the past.
[G] Then that bloody, muddy, cut-up, sodding, hot-mouthed, swizzing, [C] smoking hot,
He stood right in the center [G] of 49.
[C] The race was stepping a little too [G] slow,
He thought for sure he'd [D] won the war,
But a sudden, full-fronted, broke [G] man, he'll change his mind.
Like a blood-thirsty, gunked up,
But even as the last drum dropped,
[C] This footstep pressed an arm [Em] down on the floor.
[G] Charlie had no time to run,
He had to look right back to the setting [D] sun,
And laugh at the bulls that were in his neck, then let it roar.
[G] Laughed at the pony head on the locket tray,
Now hard-breasted, no big, [C] black plane,
Charlie had his heart [G] to say good-bye.
[C] On the road, he switched to [G] 49,
On a bloody day in [D] 69,
Charlie and his brother, [G] Richard, died.
