   G 
I was standing in an alley 
           C 
one dark lonely night 
        D 
There were three or four 
      G 
shotguns wanting to fight 

   G 
Now me and the devil we were 
           C 
seeing the light 
      D              G 
Looking for someplace to run

   G           C 
I caught with a couple of friends 
      D                         G 
I was just slipping out, they was just slipping in 

   G 
I was too hurt to laugh, 
           C 
I was too sick to grin 
      D              G 
Watching the woman I love

G   C   D   G 
The cop at the gate 
      C 
swore I was insane 
      D 
'Cause me and my pistol 
      G 
tried boarding a plane 

   G 
Now we were both loaded 
           C 
and it's hard to explain 
      D              G 
How we'd ever gotten that far

D        G 
I was the first one 
           C 
to get the last laugh 
      D              G 
When they said my son was too old for the draft 

   G 
That's when the government 
           C 
gave me the shaft 
      D 
Drafted my daughter instead
