Intro 
E  A  D 

 
       D                          G          D 
He was just getting home from the old liquor store 
   D                      A            D 
He woke up at 3 cause the game's on at 4 
   D                   G                D 
He never remembered to latch his screen door 
D                       A               D 
Next thing he knew he's laid out on the floor 



D                    G         D 
When he awoke he was met by surprise 
    D                       A          D 
His Redhawk revolver stared him in the eyes 
D                       G               D 
Gripped by a man two or three times his size 
   D                          A       D 
He swore to himself he'd make it out alive 


        B                      E 
He said I ain't no stranger to anger or fear 
          A                       D 
And I can tell by the pistol what you're doing here 
    B                       E 
The little I have I've been saving all year 
   A N.C. 
So take all the money and leave me the beer 


  D                         G             D 
I burned the coffee but the longnecks are cold 
   D                            A          D 
So there ain't no reason gettin brazen and bold 
     D                       G           D 
Just leave me that pistol my paw left to me 
    D                    A      D 
His leather recliner and color TV 



      D                         G          D 
Cause I've got some cash on the Redbirds tonight 
  D                         A          D 
I swept em last week so I'm letting it ride 
   D                        G             D 
If you let me live and they don't kick it wide 
D                             A         D 
We'll split the pot and we'll call it a night 


   B                      E 
So they settled in at the second half start 
    A                      D 
His Redhawk revolver still aimed at his heart 
       B                       E 
By the end of the 4th they had finished a case 
A N.C. 
Down by a field goal Birds called in the ace 


     D                     G         D 
From 50 yards out that's a hell of a kick 
       D                         A           D 
At the snap of the ball they all knew it's a trick 
     D                   G        D 
When out of the pocket a powerful throw 
  D                     A         D 
A hail of a mary caught in the endzone 

 
     D                             G             D 
They jumped to their feet like the crowds in the stands 
D                         A              D 
Hoopin' and hollerin' and slappin' their hands 
     D                          G           D 
That man laid the pistol on the living room floor 
    D                           A             D 
And grabbed one more beer as he walked to the door 
   D N.C.                     G N.C.     D N.C. 
He turned and he said I'll be seeing you soon 
        D N.C.     D          A            D N.C. 
Got the Cowboys on Sunday and kickoff's at noon
