Track 1- Sixgun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sadie got a Asix gun, she ain't afraid to use it
The banker took us Astraight down to the safe and I blew it
The sheriff heard a Dbig bang in the broad daylight
And by the time the Asmoke cleared we were nowhere in sight
Sadie got an AMustang, an old '64
Sadie got the Atop down and her foot to the floor
Lights in the Drearview, got the fuzz on our tail
A E
BAetter 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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AShe plays castanets, she works without a net
I like her Gbetter when she Dwalks aAway
AShe said she was mine, she told me twice
I like her Gbetter when she Dwalks aAway
Chorus 1:
I like her Gbetter when she Dwalks aAway
I like her Gbetter when shes hDere to sAtay
I like her Gbetter when she Ddanced my Away
I like her Gbetter when she Dwalks aAway, yeah
I love the sun as it silhouettes
I like her better when she walks away
I love her hair as it falls across my face
I like her better when she walks away
Chorus
She plays castanets, she works without a net
I like her better when she walks away
She turns 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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus
CHey ol' Dlady let's Ggo to the Cmotel Dcowboy Gshow

C D G D
SomethiGng 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

Instrumental break

DWe partied Amway back in NoEmvember
D A G D Am
The 7Em2 or was it 73, I know you well, you don't remember me
DAll the faces GchangedD and the room went Ground
DWhat a mystic Gplace,D what a mystic Gsound
Well we rolled one for the road, and they candied up their nose
Down the trail they rode to the motel cowboy show
Chorus

Track 5 - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo 2
GWell says Red Molly to James that's a fine motorCadd9bike
Cadd9And a girl could feel special on any such Glike
Says GJames to Red Molly, my hat's off to Cadd9you
Cadd9Thats a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952G
And I've Dseen you at the corners and Cadd9cafes it Gseems
Red Dhair and black leather, my Cadd9favorite color Gscheme
And he Ampulled her on beCadd9hind
And Cadd9down to Box Hill they did Gride
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
The fiCrst puGb we could stagger to was twelve steps from the plane
Am C G Am
CA VirgGin flight to Shannontown the day it didn't rain
Am C G Am
The Glaughing eyes of Ireland sparkling blue and green
Am C G Am
WithC hair Gas black as Guinness stout and barely seventeen
We're Fback out on the cobblestones, Emwhiskey drunk and high again
Dm G Am
LGiquAmored 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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
GWell I got empty bottles and legal papers Emwrinkled up all over the floor
Cadd9My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a Dsong in it anymore
GWell I can write another love song, yeah, but Emfirst you got to find someone to love
Cadd9I could write another fight song, yeah, but there's Dgot to be something to be proud of
they say
Chorus 1:
Cadd9 D G G/F#
MiseEmry love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
Cadd9 D Cadd9
I'll bGe alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart 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:
AmWell all these A&R guys kEmeep knockin' on my door
AmI guess the last batch wasn't good enough cause they Dkeep on D/Cwanting more

I met her at the mercado,
She was buying avocados,
(2)
My, she really turned me on.
She reached for my pepper,
I grabbed her tomatoes,
(1)
I knew it wouldn't be very long.
She went to the mesa,
I grabbed my cerveza,
(2)
I got the onions and lemons.
And when she looked at me,
Then I could clearly see,

it wouldn't be very long.

VERSE II
She went for the line,
I fell in right behind,
Man, she sure looked good.
She reached for her money,
I said, "Wait a minute honey",
I believe this one is one me.
She got in my pickup,
Started to backup,
Headed down the road.
We went to mi casa,
Tortillas de masa('),
and made guacamole all night long.

We'd be making guacamole all night long. (2x)

For some wF#masted youth and fresh set of lonely sEtars
And I'm wDonderin' baby, if you eEver really saw the bAest of us
