The Secret To A Long Life Chords

(ver. 1)
Michelle Shocked
[Intro]  
E E   E D A E (X 2)


E
Billy Barlow was a poor boy
       D                 A           E
That's why he robbed the Union Grove Bank
         E
He was a sweet talking ladies man
D                     A             E
That's what he'd have ladies all to think

       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go

            E
So when the posse came riding
D          A           E
Billy went hiding down south
              E
Holed up in a shack with Maria
         D                  A        E
With the black hair and her ruby red mouth


[CHORUS]
       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go

            E
So when the news reached her lover
D             A                E
Billy ran for cover, don't you know
                   E
Yeah, and when the bullets started ringing
D             A                E
Billy started singing "Time to go..."

       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go


E     D     A     E
Oh....Oh....Oh....Oh.....Time to go now!

E                            D            A        E
Billy headed north where the sands of the Badlands blow
           E
But in his dreams he's south
           D            A        E
He's still kissing that ruby red mouth

       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
       D                       A                         E
Oh the secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go

E     D     A     E
Oh....Oh....Oh....Oh..... (X 3)

    D                       A                         E
The secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
    D                       A                         E
The secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
    D                       A                         E
The secret to a long life's knowing when it's time to go
