Okay So I was playing this song in C# on acoustic guitar and it just is too hard for an 
acoustic guitar song.
This is the song transposed up a Half Step (so don't play along to a track with this 
because it will sound terrible)


[Verse 1]

D
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
                               A#             C
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone

D
Just barley outta school, came from the edge of town
                                 A#                 C
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, No!

A#               G
He had no money, oh no good at home
A                        A#             C
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone

And now it's

[Chorus]

D       A#
18 and life you got it
F       C
18 and life you know
D             A#
Your crime is time and it's
F       C
18 and life to go


(Then just repeat for the rest of the song)

[Verse 2]

Tequila in his heart beat his veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean
They said 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]

[Bridge]

F                           C
Accidents will happen they all heard Ricky say
    A#                                C
He fired his 6 shot to the wind that child blew a child away

[Chorus]
