Skid Row - 18 and Lifeadd

INTRO: Dm (4x) A# C

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

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

alone

And now its...

REFRAIN:

Dm         A#
Eighteen and life you got it
Gm         C
EIghteen and life you know
Dm          A#
Your crime is time and it's
C
Eighteen and life to go
Dm         A#
Eighteen and life you got it
Gm         C
Eighteen and life you know
Dm          A#
Your crime is time and it's
C             Dm
Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

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

best friend

And now it's...

[REPEAT REFRAIN]

BRIDGE:

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