[Intro]
Db Ab Db Ab
Db Ab Db Ab
[Verse 1]
Db Ab Db Ab
I keep a weather eye on the horizon, my back to the wall
Db Ab B Gb
I like to know who's coming through the door, that's all
Db Ab Db Ab
It's the old army training kicking in
Db Ab B Db Ab Db Ab Gb E
I'm not complaining, it's the world we live in
Db Ab Db Ab
Blarney and Malarkey, they're a devious firm
Db Ab B Gb
They'll take you to the cleaners or let you burn
Db Ab Db Ab
The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen - thanks a lot
Db Ab B Db Ab Db Ab
We hired the worst dishwasher this place ever got
[Chorus]
Gb Db Gb B Db Ab Db Ab
Come in below the radar, they want to spoil our fun
Db Eb Gb Ab Db Ab Db Ab
In the meantime I'm cleaning my gun
[Verse 2]
Db Ab Db Ab
Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank
Db Ab B Gb
We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank
Db Ab Db Ab
I keep a weather eye on the horizon, tap the storm glass now and then
Db Ab B Db Ab Db Ab
I've got a case of Old Damnation for when you get here, my friend
[Chorus]
Gb Db Gb B Db Ab Db Ab
We can have ourselves a party before they come
Db Eb Gb Ab Db Ab Db Ab
In the meantime I'm cleaning my gun
[Solo]
Db Ab Db Ab
Db Ab B Gb
Db Ab Db Ab
Db Ab B Db Ab Db Ab
[Bridge]
Gb Db Gb Db
We had women and a mirror ball, we had a Dee --- Jay
Gb Db Gb Db
Used to eat pretty much all that came his way
Gb Db Gb Db
Ever since the goons came in and took apart the place
Eb7 Ab7 Db Ab
I keep a tire iron in the corner, just in case
[Verse 3]
Db Ab Db Ab
Hang a little magic bullet on a little chain
Db Ab B Gb
Keep me safe from the chilly winds and out of the rain
Db Ab Db Ab
We're gonna might need bullets should we get stuck
Db Ab B Db Ab Db Ab
Any which way, we're gonna need a little luck
[Chorus]
Gb Db Gb B Db Ab Db Ab
You can still get gas in heaven and drink in kingdom come
Db Eb Gb Ab Db Ab Db Ab
In the meantime I'm cleaning my gun
