intro : Am G x3 F G  

Am            G  Am        Asus2/G       
 Ricky was a young boy he had a heart of stone 
Am            G               F             G
 Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Am               G       Am              Asus2/G
 Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town
Am                 G           F                  G 
 Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, no!
F               G  
 He had no money, no, no good at home.
F                                        C                G
 He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone

 And now it's


Am       F
 18 and life you got it
C       G
 18 and life you know
Am              F
 Your crime is time and it's
C        G     
 18 and life to go

Am       F
 18 and life you got it
C       G
 18 and life you know
Am              F
 Your crime is time and it's
C        G       Am
 18 and life to go

Am G x3 F G 

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one."
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang bang shoot 'em up, the party never ends.
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

CHORUS

F                              G
"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say
F                                           G                    Am
He fired his six-shot to the wind and that child blew a child away

CHORUS
