[D] [B]
[D] [B]
[Bm] Some punk with a shotgun
[C] killed young Danny Bailey
He's [Bm] bleeding cold blood in the lobby [C] of a downtown motel
[Bm] Killed him [D] in anger, [C] a force he couldn't handle
[Em] Help [Am] pulled the [B] [G] trigger, [F] but Todd showed his life
[Am] And there's nothing that can do him [Bb] the way that we did
[Am] Turner, he was a wild one, the man [Bb] on the most hungry kid, oh
[Am] [G]
Now [F] [Em]
[D] it's [F] all [G] over Danny [Bm] Bailey
And
[E] [G] the [A] carpet is [D] in
[C] Feeling [G] just dead
[Gm] Oh, [D]
[C] I guess [G] the cops won [D] again
Now it's [F] all [G] over [Bm] Danny Bailey
And
[E] [G] the [A] carpet [D] is in
We're [Bm] running short of heroes
[C] Back up here [G] in the sheds
[D] Without Danny Bailey we're gonna [C] have to break up our [Bm] stills
So [B] mark his [D] grave well
[C] Cause Kentucky loved him
[Em] Born and raised a proper, I [F] guess
Life just a block of [Am] money
Found faith in danger, [Bb] a lifestyle he lived by
[Am] A running young star and [Bb] a sad, ruthless angel
[Am] [G]
[F] [Em]
Now [D] it's [F] all [G] over Danny [Bm] Bailey
And
[E] [G] the [A] carpet is [D] in
[C] Feeling [G] just dead
[Gm] Oh, [D]
[C] I guess [G] the cops won [D] again
Now it's [F] all [G] over Danny [Bm] Bailey
