[Intro:] D
[Verses]
D
Give me my badge and gun
G D
Give me the road that I may run
D A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
D
I've waited all I can
G E7
But I'm just not a patient man
D D A7 D
And I've been hiding here for seven months or so
G
Hand me down my coat and hat
Bm
And grab the winter one at that
G A7
You never know how long I'll be away
D
Give me my badge and gun
G D
Give me the songs that I once sung
A7
Give me those jet-black, kick-back, lay down nights alone
D
This house is safe and warm
G E7
But I was made to chase the storm
D D A7 D
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms
G
Tell my friends I tried my best
Bm
That one day I just up and left
G A7
They probably saw it coming anyway
What can I say
Hey, hey
(Instrumental): D G D A7 D G E7 D A7 D
G
The lock is on the cellar door
Bm
I can't remember what it's for
G A7
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
D
So, so long
(Instrumental): D
D
Give me my badge and gun
G D
Give me the road that I must run
D A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
D G E7
The copy of your key is hanging where it used to be
D A7
Good as you've always been to me
D A7
The life I need to lead
D A7 D G D
Is somewhere out there, callin' over those hills
