[B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ All bad _ reputations, _ a hard thing to bear.
_ _ Mothers _ _ [A] postcorn and young [E] children they stare.
But he found _ _ consolation in flash _ [A] company.

Life ain't so bad with a girl on your knee. _ _ _ _ _

They [A] called him the [E] Kid. _ _
By [A] 21, _ [E] _ _ all that he knew was the power [B] [E] of the gun.
And by _ 23, _ he shot [A] five men down.
[E] Just got in his [A] way as [E] he rambled _ _ around. _ _ _ _

_ _ There's balls on [G#m] the desert _ [E] _ and buzzards [A] that fly.
[E] And the highest [A] of circles [E] just wishing he'd die.
But in matters [B] of cruelty, [E] _ it must be [A]
