[Intro]
Dm   Am    C  G  Dm
Dm   Am    C  G  Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm                          Am
Once I was a gamblin' man I kept my pistol by my hand
C                                    Dm
Got my work done by the light of the moon
Dm                           Am
Evil deeds made up my mind I traded peace for troubled times
C                              Dm
Wickedness and whiskey were my fuel
       F     G            Dm
Oh but now I keep locked away


[Chorus]
                      Dm                           Am
I might've hung up my shotgun  But I didn't put it up so high
       C                                           G
That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why
                Dm                        Am
Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day
C                               Dm
Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way
             F        G                     Dm
Once I had a good run,     But I hung up my shotgun

[Verse 2]
Dm                              Am
No one lives that life too long Just in time somebody came along
C                                   Dm
With her help, I just might save my soul
Dm                             Am
Sometimes I wake up at night,  Dreams of fire burnin' bright
C                              Dm
Pray that I don't ever lose control
       F     G            Dm
And so now I keep locked away

[Chorus]
                      Dm                           Am
I might've hung up my shotgun  But I didn't put it up so high
       C                                           G
That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why
                Dm                        Am
Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day
C                               Dm
Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way
             F        G                     Dm
Once I had a good run,     But I hung up my shotgun
