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

[A] [D]
[A] Sometimes [G] justice you will find Is [D] just done not colored blind
And your [E] [E] foreshadowed mind can't take [A] it all [E] in
[A] [D] All [G] those phantoms and those shames Should [D] jump up on judgment day
[E] And say to the almighty I'm still stinking of [C] [E] sin
But [A] the joe [C] who was dismissed Took [A] his neck and [D] given it a twist
So you see how open this is to those [A] complicated [C] shadows
[E]
[A] [Am] Can [A] say just what you like In a voice like a John Ford hymn
Take the law into your hands You [D] will [Dm] soon get tired of killing
In [D] those [A] complicated shadows
