Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County chords with lyrics

C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ Everyone considered him F the coward C of the county,.
_ Never stood one single time to prove the G county wrong.
_ _ C His mama called him Tommy, F the folks just C called him Yellow,.
_ _ Something always told them G they were reading C Tommy wrong.
_ _ .
Now he was only ten years F old when his daddy C died in prison,.
_ And I took care of Tommy, cause he was my G brother's son.
_ C I still recall the final F words my brother C said to Tommy,.
_ Son, my life is over, G but yours has C just begun.
_ _ _ .
Promise me, son, not F to do the C things I've done,.
F Walk C away from trouble G if you can.
_ _ .
C Now it don't mean you're weak if F you turn the C other cheek,.
And I hope you're F old enough to G understand, _ .
Son, you don't have to fight to C be a man.
_ _ .
C# There's someone for everyone, F# Tommy's C# lover Becky, _ .
_ In her arms he didn't have to prove he was G# a man.
_ _ C# One day while he was working, F# the cattle and boys C# came calling,.
_ They took turns at Becky, _ G# and there were C# three of them.
_ _ _ .
Tommy opened up the door, F# saw his C# Becky crying,.
_ _ Torn dress, the shattered look was more than he G# could stand.
_ C# He reached above the fireplace, F# took down his C# daddy's picture,.
_ As the tears fell on his daddy's G# face, I heard these C# words again, _ _ _ .
Promise me, son, not F# to do the things C# I've done, _ .
F# Walk C# away from trouble if G# you can.
_ _ .
C# Now it don't mean you're weak if F# you turn the other C# cheek,.
And I hope you're old F# enough to G# understand, _ .
Son, you don't have to fight to be C# a man.
_ _ .
D The cattle and boys just laughed at him G when he walked into D the bar room,.
_ One of them got up and hit him halfway across A the floor.
_ _ D Tommy turned around and said, G hey look, old D yellow's leaving.
_ But you could have heard a pin drop, A Tommy stomped and locked D the door.
_ _ _ .
Twenty years of crawling G was bottled up D inside him,.
_ He wasn't holding nothing back, he let them have A it all.
_ D Tommy left the bar room, G not a cattle and boy D was standing,.
_ He said this once for Becky, A as he watched the last D one fall,.
And I heard him say, I promised you, dad, not G to do the things D you've done,.
G I'll walk away D from trouble when A I can.
_ _ .
D Now please don't think I'm weak, I G couldn't turn the D other cheek,.
Papa, I G sure hope you A understand, _ _ .
Sometimes you gotta fight to be D a man.
_ _ _ .
Everyone considered him G the coward of D the county.
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
