Funny Thing About Heroes Angry Johnny and The Killbillies
Intro:
[F] [G] [Am]
[Am]Last time I saw Danny, he was [F]having trouble breathing
[C]bullet in his belly and a [G]couple fingers gone.
[Am]thought about him dying, like a [F]dog as I was leaving
[C]He's the one who always said,[G] "Take the money and [Am]run."
[Am]perfect plan is perfect, up un[F]til something goes wrong
like a [C]cowboy in a liquor store, playing [G]hero for a day
[Am]funny thing about heroes, they [F]don't last very long
said [C]Danny you're a goner man, I'm [G]sorry I can't [Am]stay
[Am]Seventeen months later, I'm [F]drinking here in Tulsa
[C]hear a voice behind me say, "One [G]move and it's goodbye."
Says [Am]Jack I cannot tell ya, how [F]good it is to see you
re[C]member me, you left me in that [G]liquor store to [Am]die
[Am]Bartender stands frozen, like a [F]deer caught in the headlights
I [C]ask him for a couple shots for [G]me and my old friend
He [Am]pours a couple bourbons, his old [F]hands they are a tremblin'
I [C]turn around real slow and I say, "[G]Danny, how ya' [Am]been?"
He [Am]grins and takes the bourbon, says you [F]know I'm gonna kill you
I [C]drink my shot and I say, "What the [G]hell, it's only fair."
I [Am]tell him that I'm sorry, I [F]left him for the buzzards.
a [C]pistol shot rings out, I see a [G]cowboy standing [Am]there
[Am]Danny's on the floor, bleeding [F]heavy from his belly
last [C]thing that cowboy hears is my [G]Colt singing its song
[Am]bartender ain't movin', he says, "[F]Man I ain't no hero!"
I tell him, "[C]Funny thing about heroes, they [G]don't last very [Am]long"
[Am]Last time I saw Danny, he was [F]dying there in Tulsa
[C]money from the register got me [G]over the state line
[Am]Last thing I told Danny was, "[F]Man it was good to see you."
[C]When you're feeling better, [G]you should look me up some[Am]time.
When you're feeling better, why don't you look me up sometime.
When you're feeling better, why don't you look me up sometime.
