[Verse 1]
Bm                              C
Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey

Bm                                          C
Killed him in cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel

Bm                     C
Killed him in anger, a force he couldn't handle

G/E                          Fmaj9
Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life

            Am9                   Bb7
And there's not many knew him the way that we did

      Am9                                      Bb7
Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren't most hungry kids, oh

Woah- oh, woah - oh, oh,

   I guess the cops won again

E7         G  A        D
   And the harvest is in
[Verse 2] We're running short of heroes back up here in the hills Without Danny Bailey we're gonna have to break up our stills So mark his grave well 'cause Kentucky loved him Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by A running gun youngster in a sad restless age [Chorus]
Am9   G   F    Em
Woah- oh, woah - oh, oh,
