  			Verse 
      B               B7 
I saw Big Bear Henry, Two Turtle Jim 
E                           E7 
Rolling into town, they was ridin' on the rims 
B                   B7 
Sold their tires to buy themselves 
  Db                 Gb    Gb7 
A couple of cases of beer 
B                         B7 
They got there a little too late 
        E                            E7 
So they broke down the door and they shot up the place 
    B                Gb           B 
Now everybody's gone crazy 'round here 

Chorus 
          B                  B7 
And it's restless nights and endless fights 
  E                         E7 
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights 
B                       Db                 Gb    Gb7 
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars 

       B                B7 
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack 
E 
Two guns left on a five rifle rack 
    B                        Gb                        B 
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure 


Verse 
B                    B7 
Set up the barricade on the line 
    E                  E7 
The cops came down and bullets were flying 
B                       B7 
Held 'em up and then we held 'em off 
      Db         Gb   Gb7 
'Till just afore dawn 

B                 B7 
They got Bear and then they got Jim 
    E             E7 
And then we got a couple of them 
          B 
And if we make the trade 
     Gb                  B 
They say they'll call it off 

Chorus 
          B                  B7 
And it's restless nights and endless fights 
  E                         E7 
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights 
B                       Db                 Gb    Gb7 
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars 

       B                B7 
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack 
E 
Two guns left on a five rifle rack 
    B                        Gb                        B 
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure

Verse 
B                          B7 
Down in the churchyard the mandolins are ringing 
    E               E7 
and I can hear the choir singing 
B                   B7                   Db                  Gb   Gb7 
Dogs are a'barkin', sirens are a'wailin' just at the edge of town 

    B              B7 
The radio says the whole thing's over 
    E                     E7 
But there ain't much that they don't know 
         B                  Gb                     B 
'Cause tomorrow morning the whole thing's gonna go down 

Chorus 
          B                  B7 
And it's restless nights and endless fights 
  E                         E7 
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights 
B                       Db                 Gb    Gb7 
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars 

       B                B7 
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack 
E 
Two guns left on a five rifle rack 
    B                        Gb                        B 
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure 
    B                        Gb                        B 
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure 
    B                        Gb                        B 
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure
