[Intro] F Dm F Gm F Dm Am Dm F Bb F Bb [Verse 1]
Bb      F     Gm       F
Morning light meet the day

      Dm    C        B
Nervous eyes     look both ways

                  F       Bb        F
And it just won't matter, spring or fall

                 Dm   F                Bb
There's bread to win      and shots to call

          Eb               Bb
And there ain't nobody out there

                         F
Just a wild uncertainty

Dm                     Am       F        Eb
    It's in your stride  but it ain't no fun
[ Chorus 1 ]
            F           Dm     F Fm  Gm
Sometimes I   feel just like a hired gun

      F            Dm   F     G
Yeah I feel just like a hired gun
N.C Always on the run [ Verse 2 ]
    Bb      F                Gm      F
And how it started, well you can't recall

            Dm        C             Bb
Did someone push you,   did someone stall

             F             Bb          F
Whatever the reasons there was lots to learn

            Dm     C               Bb
To get home safely     and not get burned

         Eb              Bb
And it's all so cold and empty

       F
As you watch the setting sun

Dm                         Am
    You've picked up every dirty trick

        Eb
Just to keep yourself always on the run
[ Chorus 2 ]
      F         Dm     Am    Gm
And I feel just like a hired gun

      F         Dm     Am    Gm
Yea I feel just like a hired gun
N.C. Always on the run [ Bridge ] F [ Sax Solo ) F Gm F Dm C Bb F Bb F C [ Verse 3 ]
F
I dream of comfort and friendship long

               Dm    C      B
But I can't trust you or anyone

               F                    Bb       F
The scars still hurt me and I don't let them heal

            Dm      C             Bb
Each one's a lesson,  each one's a  shield

          Eb              Bb
And I may even love you dearly

      F                     Bb
And I loathe what I have to do

       Dm                           Am
You see  I've picked up every dirty trick

      Eb
In my fear of you
[ Chorus 3 ]
                 F        Dm      F     Gm
'Cos you make me feel just like a hired gun

     F           Dm     F     G
Yeah I feel just like a hired gun
N.C Always on the run [ Outro ]
