Intro: Main riff (x2)
Verse:
D Em
They call me the drifter
D
I go from town to town
Em
Aint no way of getting closer
D
Than the way I found
I started in seattle
Worked my way down south
I found my pray at nighttime
And leave them helpless
Main Riff (x2)
They call me the killer
Got a lot on my mind
I drive in old cars
The sherrif never finds
I started in seattle
Moved down in key west
I found my five angels
And I laid them down to rest
