xTabbed by: Dylan Rodrigues Email:[email protected] Tuning: Standard Album: Reckless Kelly Was Here (Live Songs Only) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track 1- Sixgun --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Sadie got a six gun, she ain’t afraid to use it A The banker took us straight down to the safe and I blew it D The sheriff heard a big bang in the broad daylight A And by the time the smoke cleared we were nowhere in sight A Sadie got an Mustang, an old '64 A Sadie got the top down and her foot to the floor D Lights in the rearview, got the fuzz on our tail A E A Better give me that scattergun, baby I ain’t goin’ back to jail (Repeat chords and strumming for the whole song) Sadie got a hideout off of 71 We'll count up all the money, ditch the car and the guns Sadie says she loves me, I'll always be her man "And I’ll see you in Rio honey, we gotta stick to the plan" I woke up in the hayloft to the rooster's crow No sign of Sadie, no sign of the dough I’m heading to the airport, I got a little brass key I got a ticket and a passport, locker 32-B Open up the blue box, there ain’t nothing inside I been played like a fiddle, I’ve been taken for a ride Sadie made a phone call in the middle of the night They’ve got the place surrounded with the black and white I got myself a hostage in a Delta skirt "Do as I tell you and nobody gets hurt Show me where your car's parked, you’re gonna have to drive Because I’ll be hiding in the backseat with a .45" "Get me through the roadblock, better drive real slow Better play your cards right and I’ll let you go" And I hear my heart a pounding as fast as it can I hear the copper askin’ “Have you seen this man?” Delta kept her mouth shut like a good girl should "And you’re free to go now 'cuz you done real good" Now I got a suitcase and a thumb in the air I don’t know where I’m goin’ and I don’t really care Bubba’s got a big rig and an empty seat We’re headin’ to Laredo, it’s alright with me I’ll check into a hotel in old Mexico I gotta wait until it cools down, I’m gonna lay a little low Well I don’t miss the money, I don’t miss the guns Well I sure miss Sadie even after all she’s done Yea, Sadie left me hanging and she told a lotta lies Well it’s true what they say boys, true love never dies True true love True true love --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track 2- Casanets --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A She plays castanets, she

me on like a pickup truck I like her better when she walks away I like the sun shining through her dress I like her better when she walks away I like her hair in a tangled mess I like her better when she walks away Chorus Solo out... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track 3- Motel Cowboy Show

your whiskey and your wine C D G D G Something stronger would be fine, something stronger would be fine Chorus Well they walk thru the swingin’ doors, through the sawdust on the floor Everybody was ready to go at the motel cowboy show They’ve been all over the land, not bad for a honky tonk band Well, it’s a long hard hill to climb, when you're so far ahead of time And you’ve never seen a dime, you’re so far ahead of your time Chorus Bridge 1: C D G Em A Well the doses soon kicked in and the fun would soon begin Em A The fun would soon begin Em A And the world did a great big spin Em A Whoo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 2 G Cadd9 Well says Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike Cadd9 G And a girl could feel special on any such like G Cadd9 Says James to Red Molly, my hat's off to you Cadd9 G Thats a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952 D Cadd9 G And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems D Cadd9 G Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme Am Cadd9 And he pulled her on behind Cadd9 G And down to Box Hill they did ride Says James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen And I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine Now I'm 21, I might not make 22 But I don't mind dying but for the love of you And if fate should break my stride Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left He was running out of road, he was running out of breath But he smiled to see her cry And said I'll give you my Vincent to ride Says James, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl Now Nortons and Indians and Greeveses won't do Well, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52 He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys He said I've got no further use for these I see angels on Ariels in leathers and chrome Swooping down from heaven to carry me home And he gave her one last kiss and died And he gave her his Vincent to ride Alternate between G and Cadd9 for the ending --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track 6 - Seven Nights In Eire --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro chords: Am C G Am C G twice Am C G Am C G The first pub we could stagger to was twelve steps from the plane Am C G Am C G A Virgin flight to Shannontown the day it didn’t rain Am C G Am G The laughing eyes of Ireland sparkling blue and green Am C G Am C G With hair as black as Guinness stout and barely seventeen F Em We’re back out on the cobblestones, whiskey drunk and high again Dm G Am G Am Liquored up and gearing up for seven nights in Ireland The corner booth is waiting for the session to begin It’s quiet as a mother’s prayer ‘till we all stumble in And it’s fifty happy voices mixed with whistles made of tin And a piper man is blowing like the North Atlantic wind And an Aran island beauty is sawing on the violin I wonder will she miss me after seven nights in Ireland It’s Ladies’ Day in Galway and we watched the ponies run Fifty pounds against the odds and came in six to one McSwiggin heard the race report, he invited us on in So we drank Catholic whiskey with all our newfound friends They raised a glass to all of us and we all toasted them Here’s to Michael, Tom and Pat and seven nights in Ireland Well we kissed all the girls goodbye and gathered in our gear And when she walked me to the gate I swear I saw a tear But then she looked into my eyes I knew she felt my pain And only then I realized we were standing in the rain So save our places at the pub and when the eyes are dry again We’ll come back another day for seven nights in Ireland --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track 7 - Break My Heart Tonight

tonight Going out walkin' on Avenue B and I ain't comin' back until dawn And find some stranger in a Greenich bar to shower my affection upon Well maybe she'll stay 'til one fateful day when we realize we've got nothin' left And maybe I'll find she's messed up my mind and I can get back to doing what I do best they say Chorus 1 Solo Bridge: Am Em Well all these A&R guys keep knockin' on my door Am D D/C I guess the last batch wasn't good enough cause they keep on wanting more D/B D/A and more and they say Chorus 2: Cadd9 D G G/F# Em Write what you know and it just goes to show, you gotta write your own destiny Cadd9 D Cadd9 G I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart tonight, they say Cadd9 D G G/F# Em Misery love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for
