verse 1 

D                        G 
John Beyers blew three holes in my ride 
       A                    G           D 
He put two in the tires and one in the side 
D                  G 
Side panel of my 1969 
A                    G           D 
Camaro, and so it's John I must find 


verse 2 

D                                 G 
So I hopped in Pop's pick-up and cranked up the heat 
        A                   G           D 
Got a clean .22 and some shells in the seat 
D                              G 
And I lit up the dark and I shifted her down 
A                                  G           D 
This southside Swift Current boy's northside-bound 


       A                       G             D 
John Beyers just bought him a whole mess of pain 
        A                       G          D 
He's a fool if he thinks he can do this again 
           D                            G 
'Cause I'm crossin' that track just as soon as this train 
       A                        G            D 
Pulls out of the rail yard, ol' John's gonna pay 

OUTRO: D        G        A   G   D (x2)
