F G Am 

Am                            F 
Last time I saw Danny, he was having trouble breathing 
C                         G 
bullet in his belly and a couple fingers gone. 
Am                              F 
thought about him dying, like a dog as I was leaving 
C                            G                    Am 
He's the one who always said, "Take the money and run." 
Am                            F 
perfect plan is perfect, up until something goes wrong 
       C                                 G 
like a cowboy in a liquor store, playing hero for a day 
Am                             F 
funny thing about heroes, they don't last very long 
     C                             G             Am 
said Danny you're a goner man, I'm sorry I can't stay 


Am                          F 
Seventeen months later, I'm drinking here in Tulsa 
C                                G 
hear a voice behind me say, "One move and it's goodbye." 
     Am                         F 
Says Jack I cannot tell ya, how good it is to see you 
  C                              G               Am 
remember me, you left me in that liquor store to die 
Am                              F 
Bartender stands frozen, like a deer caught in the headlights 
  C                              G 
I ask him for a couple shots for me and my old friend 
   Am                               F 
He pours a couple bourbons, his old hands they are a tremblin' 
  C                                 G              Am 
I turn around real slow and I say, "Danny, how ya' been?" 


   Am                                    F 
He grins and takes the bourbon, says you know I'm gonna kill you 
  C                                  G 
I drink my shot and I say, "What the hell, it's only fair." 
  Am                         F 
I tell him that I'm sorry, I left him for the buzzards. 
  C                              G               Am 
a pistol shot rings out, I see a cowboy standing there 
Am                             F 
Danny's on the floor, bleeding heavy from his belly 
     C                             G 
last thing that cowboy hears is my Colt singing its song 
Am                                F 
bartender ain't movin', he says, "Man I ain't no hero!" 
             C                              G               Am 
I tell him, "Funny thing about heroes, they don't last very long" 


Am                            F 
Last time I saw Danny, he was dying there in Tulsa 
C                              G 
money from the register got me over the state line 
Am                            F 
Last thing I told Danny was, "Man it was good to see you." 
C                           G                         Am 
When you're feeling better, you should look me up sometime. 

When you're feeling better, why don't you look me up sometime.
