EmRicky was a Dyoung boy, Emhe had a heDart of stone

EmLived nine to fiDve and he worked his fCsus2ingers to the boneDsus4

EmJust barely Dout of school, Emcame from the Dedge of town

EmFought like a swiDtchblade so no Csus2one could take him downDsus4

CHe had no money, no, Amno good at home

BWalked the streets a soldier and he

CFought the world alDone and now it’s

EmDEmDEmDCD

EmTequila Din his heartbeat, Emhis veins burned Dgasoline

EmIt kept his mDotor running, Csus2but it never Dsus4kept him clean

EmThey said he lDoved adventure, EmRicky’s the wDild one

EmHe married tDrouble, had a cCsus2ourtship with a gDsus4un

CBang, bang, shoot ‘em up, the Amparty never ends

BYou can’t think of dying when the Cbottle’s your best Dfriend

And now it’s

Em

GAccidents will happen, they aDll heard Ricky say

He fCired his six shot to the wind, that Dchild blew a child away

Solo over chorus chords if appropriate, else just

play a half-chorus of chords, i.e.:
