[Intro] Em G A x2 [Verse 1] [DALLAS]
                        Em   G A
First they beat us down

             Em   G A
One after another

                   Em   G A
Keep losing ground

                  Em   G A
Nowhere to take cover

                        Em   G A
They want us out of town

                        Em   G A
Then who would they beat on?

                    Em
Who would they spit on?

            G   A
Who would they blame it on

                   Em   G A
If we weren't around?

           A        A        A A
Now, we're never going back

G          G       G G
Everything is lost

Little brother

Sorry I failed you

I could not save you

No I can't even save myself

                Em      G         A
And they cannot take anymore from mе

If I ain't got you

       A
Then I ain't got nothin' else
Em G A [Verse 2]
                    Em  G A
If anything was fair

                Em     G A
You would still be here

                Em  G
Does anybody care

       A
When a Greaser disappears?

Now, we're never going back

G          G       G G
Everything is lost

Em G A x2 [Verse 3] [DALLAS]
Em
There's only one way out

G
I finally see that now

A
They took the only thing that mattered to me anyhow

Em
That's why I'm standing here

G
No good to run away

A
That's all I ever done but now's the time for me to stay

Em
Do it for all of us

G
The faces in the crowd

A
And when they try to shut you up, then scream it twice as loud

Em
Do it for Cool Hand Luke

G
Do it for Jesse James

A
Do it for all the unsung heroes, you don't know their names

Em
Do it for Ponyboy

G
Do it for Johnny Cade

A
Don't leave a stone unturned

A
Don't leave a debt unpaid

Em
Johnny, I am coming home

A
'Bout to take my final bow

A
Hope you saved a seat for me

A                      A
Johnny, can you see me now?
