{st:Fred Eaglesmith}


I saw [G]Big Bear Henry and Two Turtle Jim, 
[C]Rollin' into town and they was ridin' on their rims
[G]Sold their tires to buy themselves, a [A]couple of cases of [D]beer [D]
[G]They got there a little too late, 
So they [C]broke down the door and shot up the place
Now [G]everybody's gone [D]crazy 'round [G]here [G]


And it's [G]restless nights and endless fights, 
A [C]hundred miles an hour and no headlights
[G]Fiddles and accordions, [A]tear-stained steel gui-[D]tars [D]
It's a [G]tar paper shack, whiskey and smack, 
[C]Two guns left on a five rifle rack
Some-[G]body round here's gonna [D]get killed and that's for [G]sure [G]


[G]Set up a barricade on the line, 
The [C]cops came down and bullets were flyin'
We [G]held ‘em up and then we held ‘em off, [A]till just before [D]dawn [D]
[G]They got Bear, and then they got Jim, 
And [C]then we got a couple of them
And if we [G]make the trade they [D]say they'll call it [G]off [G]


And it's [G]restless nights and endless fights, 
A [C]hundred miles an hour and no headlights
[G]Fiddles and accordions, [A]tear-stained steel gui-[D]tars [D]
It's a [G]tar paper shack, whiskey and smack, 
[C]Two guns left on a five rifle rack
Some-[G]body round here's gonna [D]get killed and that's for [G]sure [G]


{c:Instrumental verse}


[G]Up in the churchyard the choir is a-singin', 
[C]I can hear mandolin's a-ringing' 
[G]Dogs are a-barkin', ambulances wailin', [A]out on the edge of [D]town [D]
The [G]radio says the whole thing's over, 
But [C]there ain't much that they don't know
Cause [G]tomorrow mornin' the [D]whole thing's gonna go [G]down [G]


And it's [G]restless nights and endless fights, 
A [C]hundred miles an hour and no headlights
[G]Fiddles and accordions, [A]tear-stained steel gui-[D]tars [D]
It's a [G]tar paper shack, whiskey and smack, 
[C]Two guns left on a five rifle rack
Some-[G]body round here's gonna [D]get killed and that's for [G]sure [G]
Some-[G]body round here's gonna [D]get killed and that's for [G]sure [G]
Some-[G]body round here's gonna [D]get killed and that's for [G]sure [G]
