We're gonna do a song about a gangster.
[B]
It's called The Legend of Danny Bailey.
And here we go then!
[D]
[D] [B] [Bm] Some punk with a shotgun [C] killed young Danny Bailey
[Bm] He told blood in [C] the lobby of a downtown motel
[Bm]
Killed him in anger, [C] a force he couldn't handle
[Em]
[B] Waffles, a rigger, [F] the cops shot his life
And [Am] there's not many who knew him [Gm] the way that we [Bb] did
Sure [Am] enough, even the wild ones got [Bb] on those ivory kids
[Am] Oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, [F] oh, oh
[Em]
[D] Now it's [F] all over [Bm] Danny Bailey
[E] [G] After [A] all this is his
[C] deal [G] and just his
[Bb] Oh, oh, [D]
oh, oh, [C] oh, oh
I guess [G] the cops won [D] again
Now it's all over Danny [B] Bailey
[Bm] And [E] the harvest [D] is in
[Bm] We're running short of heroes
[C] Back up here in the [Bm] hills
Without Danny Bailey, we're [C] gonna have to break up our stills
[Bm] So Markis [C] Gravewell, this Kentucky loved him
[Em]
Born and raised a punk, I [F] guess life's just a punk film
Now [C] there's conflict and [A] danger, [Bb] a lifetime to live [E] by
A running [C] from youngsters, [Bb] and a silent disease
[Am] Oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh, [F] oh
[Em] [D]
Now it's all [G] over [Bm] Danny Bailey
After [E]
[A] all this is his [D] [C]
deal and just [G] his
[Bb] Oh, oh, [A] oh, oh, [C] oh, oh
I guess [G] the cops won [D] again
