The Ballad of Tommy Foster
Capo I
Intro Am G Am
Am G
For thirty eight years, my life had begun
Am G
I was never a man without holding a gun
Am G Am
Now all that I hold is regret and I'm too old to run.
Am G
And for thirty eight years, I've not walked on grass
Am G
Living the life of my crimes from the past
Am G Am
But I'd give it all back just to lie in the arms of my love.
* CHORUS *:
C G
Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrow
Am G
Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow
C G
I am a bank robber, and a girl I desire
Am G
I've changed for the better I am not a damn liar
Am G Am
My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life.
Am G
And for thiry eight years, I've seen growm men cry
Am G
and I've watched them come back time after time
Am G Am
and I hate them for having the chance, why can't it be mine.
Am G
And for thirty eight years, it's long since the stars
Am G
shined into my eyes, not to care of my past
Am G Am
And the lady I love, you've found the good in my heart.
* CHORUS *
Bridge:
F C
It's three thirty again, the head miles begin
G Am
And the windows too high and I can't see the sun
F C
And I can't stop this pain, so I think of you love
G Am
You've shown me the way, while others gave up
G Am
Oh you've shown me the way to what I can become.
Outro:
Am G Am
Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life
Am G Am
Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed i-s m-y life.
Am G Am
