[Intro]
E N.C.
E
[1st Verse]
E Big tall man standing in the street A Gun hanging on by his side A Just one man that he'd like to meet B7 That's when I began to hide
[2nd Verse]
E I recognized him from the face of his son A The hate in his eye didn't lie A And what I did can't be undone B7 E Borrowed time, there's none to buy
[3rd Verse]
E Well, I hid around the back of a derelict shack A Ain't looking for a mad showdown A But he was smart, he'd already checked B7 A week in advance I'd paid down
[4th Verse]
E Well, the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man A The job he had it didn't pay A He told all about what happened that night B7 E There he is, that's the one's all he'd say
[Chorus]
E Well, all the people were B7 Running, jumping, even thumping A On my bad neighbor's doors B7 Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly A Let me in I gotta hide E Well, everybody was B7 Crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying A No one to protect our town B7 Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly A E He's gonna shoot your sheriff down
[Interlude]
E
[5th Verse]
E Big tall man standing in the street A Now a hand hovering ready to slide A Drew out his gun, it wasn't for fun B7 Let me in there's nowhere to hide
[6th Verse]
E Well, I made my play but it wasn't my day A I felt the ripping lead A That's when I knew my time was through B7 E7 Rest in peace were the last words he said
[Chorus]
E Well, all the people were B7 Running, jumping, even thumping A On my bad neighbor's doors B7 A Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly A Let me in I gotta hide E Well, everybody was B7 Crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying A No one to protect our town B7 A Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly E He's gonna shoot your sheriff down
[Out-Chorus]
E Well, all the people were B7 Running, jumping, even thumping A On my bad neighbor's doors B7 Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly A Let me in I gotta hide E Well, everybody was B7 Crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying A No one to protect our town B7 Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly A E He's gonna shoot your sheriff down B7 Running, jumping, even thumping A On my bad neighbor's doors B7 A Crying curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly A E Let me in I gotta hide E Well, everybody was B7 Crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying A No one to protect our town
