Chords for Robert Earl Keen "Shades Of Gray" 10/2/10

My Bob's home gone we're so [C] messed up.
We didn't know if we were [Dm] drunk or stoned
_ Radney was a sad sack [F] tall kind of [C] free and Bob was a real maniac
Crazier than [Dm] hell they've been kicked out of high school [C] several years ago
For pushing over port-a-cans at the 4-h [Dm] rodeo
Sistin that _ [F] dance right outside [C] of law
twice in Oklahoma
once in [Dm] Arkansas
I don't know what [C] possessed me
I don't want to tag [F] along
Cause [C] I was raised Christian
And I did right [Dm] from wrong
_ _ [Bb] _ Riding [F] around like a white
[C] _ Cross the line and gonna [Dm] pay
_ [F] In the [Dm] garments for the love
_ [C] Let me die by a [Dm] shades of grey _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
We stole two charlie heifers [F] from Randy's sweet arch pa
[C] Cause so many times
The livestock sell outside of Wichita
[Dm] We got nine hundred [F] dollars
I never did suspect
[C] The world a hurt would be
And once we cashed [Dm] a check
The next day we heard the story
[Fm] On the local radio
[C] And made our plans that very night
To go to Mexico
[Dm] And I swear it would've made it
[F] If it wasn't for the shine
I [C] got sick about the time
We crossed that [Dm] Kansas line
I [Bb] got sick about the time
Right around block [F] away _
[C] _ Cross the line, gonna [Dm] fade _
[F] In the dark, [Dm] before the light
_ [Gm] _
[C] Every time my [Dm] shade's gray
I _ [C] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] did your praying, I would die
[C] When the light come on above us
And the voice come from the [Dm] sky
Half a dozen unmarked cars
[F] Came streaking to a halt
They [C] grabbed Bobby, started screaming
It was all my [Dm] fault
There were many dogs and helicopters
[F] Buzzing all [C] around
They had the brothers on the pickup hood
And me down on [Dm] the ground
And Bob blew all to [F] pieces
But Randy held tight
Then [C] a black man in a suit and tie
Stepped into [Dm] the light
He told his men to turn us [F] loose
And they put down their guns
He said, [C] these are just some sorry kids
Made the [Dm]
ones
_ [Bb] _ Right around, _ [F] _ _
_ [C] cross the line, gonna [Dm] fade
[F] _
In the dark, [Dm] before the light _
[C] Every time my [Dm] shade's gray
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ Clear up just by the roadside
[F] Down on it and alone
[C] Randy got behind the wheel
Said, boys, I'm [Dm] going home
We turned around to face our [F] fate
Hung over but alive
That [C] morning in late April
Oklahoma in [Dm] 95
_ _ [Bb] _ Right around, [F] _
_ _ [C] _ cross the line, gonna [Dm] fade _
_ [F] In [C] the dark, before the [Dm] _ light
[Bb] Every time my [Dm] shade's gray
_ Every [C] time my [Dm] shade's gray
_ Every [C] time my [Dm] shade's gray _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
