Cars & Guns
CAPO I
INTRO: D G D A G D G D A G D
D
I was 19 when Shandy came
G
And no one seemed to like her name
D A
But I heard it in a song and I thought it sounded so sweet
D
Now she's 9 years old and all arms and legs
G
Follows me everywhere and always begs me
D A D
To play, come on Daddy let's play
CHORUS 1:
G A
But I never gave a damn about anything
D G
All I ever wanted to do was sing
G
My yard's over-growed, my roof leaks
A
Me and my neighbors, we rarely speak
G A
And I never gave a damn about cars and gun
D G
Long as they'd shoot and as long as they'd run
D A G D
I guess it's a good thing I never had a son
I was 21 when Jessica came
Heard the Allman Brothers song and I liked that name
And I thought it sounded so good with le moin
Now she's 8 years old and thinks I hung the moon
And I hope it don't hurt her when someday soon
She finds out I ain't nothin' special, just a lonely man
CHORUS 2:
G
'Cause I never was much good for anything
D
All I ever wanted to do was sing
A
The yard's over-growed and all the faucets leak
G D
Me and my neighbors we rarely speak
G A
Well I never gave a damn about cars and guns
D G
Long as they'd shoot and as long as they'd run
D A G D
So I guess it's a good thing I never had a son
BREAK: D G D A G D
I was 24 when Cheyenne came
And the grievous angel left me her name
And the innocence in her eyes, it still chills me
But I broke her heart so many times
As I dared tryin' to make sad words
But somethin' down inside me tells me baby it'll be worthwhile to see you smile
CHORUS 3:
G
I never was no good for anything
D
All I ever wanted to do was sing
G
The yard's over-growed and the faucets leak
D A
Me and my family we seldom speak
G A
And I never gave a damn about cars and guns
D G
Long as they'd shoot and as long as they'd run
D A G
I guess it's a good thing I never had a son
D A G
Ah but in the long run
D
God works in mysterious ways
