INTRO: A#m (4x) F# G#

A#m
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
              F#                G#
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
A#m
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
D#m
No good at home
F#                                  G#
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world

alone

And now its...

REFRAIN:

A#m         F#
Eighteen and life you got it
D#m         G#

A#m          F#
Your crime is time and it's
G#
Eighteen and life to go
A#m         F#
Eighteen and life you got it
D#m         G#
Eighteen and life you know
A#m          F#
Your crime is time and it's

Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

A#m                  F#                    G#
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
A#m                        F#           G#
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
A#m
They say he loved adventure.
F#          G#                                F#
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
G#
with a gun
F#                        D#m
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#                    D#m
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
F#                             G#
He fired his six shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
