Damien Jurado – I Had No Intentions (Guitar)

D                                   Bm
He motioned to me from across the street

G                                       D
  His arms waving madly "Come over to me"

D                      Bm
I saw the panic as he approached

G                              D
  We both ran quickly to the house

          Em                 D
Where the windows were shot out

D                             Bm
He lay there bleeding on the floor

G                                         D
  My mother beside him screaming "Dear Lord

Em               D
Someone shot my boy"

D                                  Bm
I held his hand till the ambulance came

G                                    D
  Then onto a stretcher they took him away

D                               Bm
I followed close from the car behind

G                                             D
   The lights and the sirens both dull in my mind

Em       D
November 9

D                                  Bm
Killed by a bullet from a jealous gun

G                                               D
   It rattled his eyelids and pierced through his lungs

Em                   D
The damage was now done

D                                    Bm
He was seen by her lover the night before

G                                    D
   Swearing to kill him outside her door

D                                Bm
To her defense my brother walked out

G                                    D
   Raising his fists and screaming "Get out

Em                  D
It's me she's with now!"

D                                  Bm
Hotel hospital the tears burned my eyes

G                                           D
   I slipped into nighttime and deep into dying

Em            D
Without even trying.
