Skid Row - 18 and Lifeadd

INTRO: Am (4x) F G

Am
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
              F                G
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
Am
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade
   F        G                  F
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
Dm
No good at home
F                                  G
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world

alone

And now its...

Am         F
Eighteen and life you got it
Dm         G
EIghteen and life you know
Am          F
Your crime is time and it's
G
Eighteen and life to go
Am         F
Eighteen and life you got it
Dm         G
Eighteen and life you know
Am          F
Your crime is time and it's

Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

Am                  F                    G
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
Am                        F           G
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
Am
They say he loved adventure.
F          G                                F
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
G
with a gun
F                        Dm
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
F                            G
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your

best friend

And now it's...

[REPEAT REFRAIN]

BRIDGE:

F                    Dm
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
F                             G
He fired his six shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
