The Buoys - Give up Your guns

Intro: [Am][Em], [Am][Em]

When [Am]I woke up this [Em]morning
I [Am]found myself [Em]alone
I [F]turned to touch her [G]hair
but she was [Am]gone, she was [G]gone

And [Am]there beside my [Em]pillow
were her [Am]tears from the night [Em]before
she [F]said give up your [G]guns and face the [Am]law     [Em]

I [Am]robbed a bank in [Em]Tampa
and I [Am]thought I had it [Em]made
but the [F]hounds picked up my [G]trails
within the [Am]Glades
so I [Em]ran

And I [Am]stumbled on this [Em]cabin
and she [Am]came to me once [Em]more
she [F]said give up your [G]guns and face the [Am]law     [Em]

BRIDGE:
[Am]I don't [G]wanna [C]leave her
[Bb]I don't wanna [Bm]die
[Bb]deep within a [Em]cold cold grave
with [F]no-one around to [E]cry

[Am]but I [G]got my [C]pistol
[Bb]now it's time to [Bm]choose
[Bb]shootin' here or [Em]hanging there
in [F]either way I [E]loose

And [Am]now I'm in this [Em]cabin
where my [Am]own true love should [Em]be
In[F]stead there lies a [G]note she wrote to [Am]me
and it says[Em]

No you [Am]can't live by the [Em]bullet
But [Am]you sure as death can [Em]die
my [F]love give up your [G]guns don't say good[Am]bye... good[Em]bye


And the [Am]sheriff now is [Em]calling
with a [Am]shotgun at my [Em]door
[F]Son... give up your [G]guns 'n face the [Am]law
