INTRO: G#m (4x) E F#

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

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

alone

And now its...

Eighteen and life to go
G#m         E
Eighteen and life you got it
C#m         F#
Eighteen and life you know
G#m          E

Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

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

best friend

And now it's...

[REPEAT REFRAIN]

BRIDGE:

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