INTRO: F#m (4x) D E

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

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

alone

And now its...

F#m         D
Eighteen and life you got it

Your crime is time and it's

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

Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

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

best friend

And now it's...

[REPEAT REFRAIN]

BRIDGE:

D                    Bm
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
D                             E
He fired his six shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
