Bm C Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey Bm C In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel Bm C Killed him in anger, a force he couldn't handle C Em F Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life Am7 Bb And there's not many knew him the way that we did Am7 Bb Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren't most hungry kids, oh A G F Em Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh,
D/A Am Bm Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Bm Now it's all over Danny Bailey E/B G/D A/E D And the har - vest is in C C/B Bb D/A Dillinger's dead, woah-oh C/G G/B D I guess the cops won again D Am Bm Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Bm Now it's all over Danny Bailey
