Two Shots Chords by John Denver

_ I took two [D] shots, got in the [G] dust, [D] and cold, [G] cold hands. _ _ _
Last night [D] while I was [C] out drinking, _ _ _ _
[Am] trying [D] to have a good [G] _ _ time,
the _
[C] lady with whom I was [G] speaking _ _ [Em] thought _
[A] I was feeding her some [D] old lies.
[A] _ When [G] I spoke of [D] a cold [C] winter's morning, _ _ _ [Am] a ducked line [D] and a river [G] of grey, _ _ _
[C] the sand and [Am] the snow [Em] softly _ falling, _ [A] when I thought I heard somebody [D] _ _ say,
I [C] took two [D] shots, got in the [G] dust, [D] and cold, [G] cold hands.
_ _ I could tell [D] by the gaze of [C] my comrades _
_ _ _ [Am] I was [D] the one who [G] had spoke. _
_ _ [C] Their eyes held a message [G] of patience, _
[Em] _ _ [A] of thrill, of the hunt, [D] and of [A] hope.
_ But [G] when I [D] spoke again, [C] how they listened, _ for [Am] the wisdom [D] of what I [G] might say,
_ _ [C] it's a good loss [Am] _ to [G] shoot one of my [Em] friends, _ [A] he'd surely send more ducks [D] our _ way.
I [C] took two shots, got in [G] the dust, [D] and cold, [G] cold hands. _ _ _
_ Well, the [D] lady with whom I [C] was speaking, _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] she laughed lightly, [D] _ she wandered [G] away. _ _ _ _
[C] My heart, like the snow in my [G] story, _ _ [Em] _ _
[A] fell silent.
_ _ [C#] _
[D] I'd hoped she would stay.
_ So [G] nice [D] to talk to [C] somebody, _ _ to [Am] find someone [D] who's willing [G] to share. _ _ _
[C] I know that [Am] this life is [G] worth living, [Em] yes it is, [A] but sometimes it just [D] isn't fair.
_ _ _ I [C] took two shots, got in the dust, [D] and cold, [G] cold hands.
