18 And Life

[Intro]
F#m F#m F#m D E 2x


[Verse]
F#m  
Ricky was a young boy,

he had a heart of stone
             D          
  Lived 9 to 5 and worked
     E
his fingers to the bone
F#m  
Just barely out of school

came from the edge of town

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

And now its...


[Chorus]
F#m          D
Eighteen and life you got it
A            E
EIghteen and life you know
F#m           D
Your crime is time and it's
A            E
Eighteen and life to go
F#m          D
Eighteen and life you got it
A            E
Eighteen and life you know
F#m           D
Your crime is time and it's
A            E           F#m
Eighteen and life to go


[Interlude]
F#m F#m F#m D E 2x


[Verse]
F#m  
Tequila in his heartbeat,

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

that bottle is your best friend

And now it's...


[Chorus]
F#m          D
Eighteen and life you got it
A            E
EIghteen and life you know
F#m           D
Your crime is time and it's
A            E
Eighteen and life to go
F#m          D
Eighteen and life you got it
A            E
Eighteen and life you know
F#m           D
Your crime is time and it's
A            E           F#m
Eighteen and life to go


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