Whenever Kindness Fails

Written by Robert Earl Keen

Capo on 3rd fret
	  		  
Intro:  D Bm D Bm 
  
Verse 1: 
  
D                       Bm 
Crossed the desert in a dining car 
D                  Bm 
In the spring of '91 
D                        Bm 
Met some people drinkin' at the bar, 
A 
They were laughin', havin' fun 
  
Told 'em that I hadn't heard the joke 
That was so hilarious 
They said that I was just a dumb cowpoke 
I didn't want to make a fuss

G A So I shot them down, one by one D G And left them 'long the rails D I only use my gun A Bm Whenever kindness fails

Verse 2: Moon was in the sign of Scorpio The sun was at my back I didn't know how far the train would go Till the law would find my track Saw the brakeman and the engineer Drinking wine and eating brie I asked them who would brake and who would steer They started pointing back at me Chorus Solo: Repeat chords in Chorus Verse 3: I only have a momment to explain Just a chance to let you know When it's time to board that train There are 2 ways you can go. You can ride the wind into the sun Feel a cool wind on your face Or you can laugh into a loaded gun And you'll likely lose your place Chorus: Yeah I shot them down, one by one And left them 'long the rails I only use my gun Whenever kindness fails I shot them down, one by one And left them 'long the rails When I use my gun That lonesome whistle wails Outro: D Bm (repeat)
