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

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

alone

And now its...

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

best friend

And now it's...

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