D                                                         G  
I'd say I'm a lover not a fighter, I'd never stare nobody down  
                                  A                                    D  
Til one night my girl I could not find her, she never made it back from town  
                                                                 G  
I found my Shannon cryin in the woods, a wicked man he held her down  
                                   A                             D  
I stuck him deep an I buried him good, not deep enough to fool the hounds

D                                     G         D  
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky,   
                         A       D  
I bought a gun an made Shannon my wife  
                          G         D  
We jumped in a box car to old mexico  
                                 A           D  
Where I aint worth a penny on my bounty back home  
                               A           D  
No I ain't worth a penny on my bounty back home

D                                                           G  
That train stopped in Tijuana, we built a shack beneath the sun  
                       A                                    D  
I make my Shannon margaritas, we watch our childre laugh and runrunrun  
                                                G  
Sometimes I miss my daddy, sometimes I miss my mom  
                                A                          D  
I think they'd be real proud of me, to know the man that Iv become

D                                 G         D  
What was I supposed to do boy just watch you leave  
D                                A         D  
You'd a broken my heart, you'd a haunted my dreams
