Skid Row - 18 and Lifeadd

INTRO: Cm (4x) G# A#

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

alone

And now its...

[REPEAT INTRO]

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