Skid Row - 18 and Lifeadd

INTRO: Bm (4x) G A

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

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

alone

And now its...

REFRAIN:

Bm         G
Eighteen and life you got it
Em         A
EIghteen and life you know
Bm          G
Your crime is time and it's
A
Eighteen and life to go
Bm         G
Eighteen and life you got it
Em         A
Eighteen and life you know
Bm          G
Your crime is time and it's
A             Bm
Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

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

best friend

And now it's...

[REPEAT REFRAIN]

BRIDGE:

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