E
Feet hit the ground, feet leavin' town
D E
Quicker than a bullet or a knife
A
Fallin' ain't no fun when you're on the run
E D E
Honey we was runnin' for our lives
A E
When Stagger Lee had drunk his fill of moonlight
A E
He turned his burnin' eyes upon my soul
A E
"It's time by God to spend this night with someone else" he said
E D E
"Squeeze a little pleasure from the gold, love and glory but
E D E
We can take it easy when we're old"
E
He said "we'll take us into town, lay our money down
D E
I'll bring you to the sweetest thing that grows
A
Because the fairest ones in sight are bloomin' every night
E D E
At a tavern called the Sabre and the Rose"
A E
We swang into the saddle slick as breathin'
A E
And slapped 'em once for pleasure with the reins
A E
The horses snorted frosty in the moonlight
D E
Somethin' dark was singin' in my veins
E D E DAE
Older than the voices in my brain
E
He said "this place you're gonna see is where they live and breathe
D E
And sink down a little bit deeper every day
