Well, you [A] know your time [D] has come And you're [A] sorry for [D] what you've done
You should have never been playing with a gun in those complicated [A] shadows
Well there's a line that you [D] must toe And [A] it'll soon be [D] time to go
But it's darker than you know in those complicated shadows
All you [G] gangsters and rude clowns Who were shooting up the town
[F#m] And you [E] should have found [E] someone to put [A] the blame on
[D] [A]
[D] Though the [G]
funeral's hot and hard I still [D] see that cold graveyard
There's a [E]
solitary storm that's got your name on
You don't have [Am] to give [E] up on me But I [A]
know what I [B] speak
You think you're like iron [D] and steel But iron and steel will bend and break
In those [A] complicated shadows

[D] Sometimes [G]
justice you will find Is just dumb not colorblind
And [E] your false shattered mind Can't [A] take it all in
[E] [A]
[E] All [G] those phantoms and those shades Should [D] jump up on judgment day
[E]
And say to the almighty I'm still [B] stinking of [C] sin
[E] But [A] the jury was [E] dismissed He took his neck and he [D] given it a twist
So you see [Dm] how I've been [D] missing those [A] complicated [C] shadows
[E] [A]
[Am] [E] You [A] say just what you like In a voice like a John Ford film
Take the law into your head You [D] will soon [Dm] get tired [D] of killing
