Six Feet Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D](Ji[Em]mmy,[F#][G][A]
had the [D]fastest [Bm]gun [Em]until [A]yers[D]terday
But now he's lyin' [G]in the ground
just [A]six [D]feet away.)

[Verse 2]
Jimmy was [D]a,
a young [A]man come full of fun and [D]play
Until one day he killed a man
an' he [Em]had to run [A]away[D]
His friends all tried to tell him how
he'd end [G]up some [Abdim]day
[D]Well, now he's lyin' [F#]in the [Bm]ground
under [G]six feet of [A]clay.
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[A](Jimmy, had the [D]fastest [Bm]gun
[Em]until [A]yer[D]sterday
But now he's lyin' [G]in the ground
just [A]six [D]feet away.)

[Verse 4]
[D]Jimmy left that [A]mornin'
headin' [D]for Mexico
Where a man an' a,
a horse need [A]water and you gotta travel [D]slow
For the desert is the devil's [G]furnace
and it's full of rattle [Abdim]snakes[D]
And it means [F#]that cool clean wa[Bm]ter
[G]turns [A]the sand to shimmerin' lakes.
[D]

[Verse 5]
We found his horse next [A]mornin'
covered with driftin' [D]sand
An' we knew that we'd find Jimmy,
[Em]desperate [A]an ' fightin' [D]mad
We asked him to surrender [G]but well,
the [Abdim]answer was pigs got le[D]ad
[F#]We didn't want to do [Bm]it but [G]we had
to shoot [A]him dead.
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]
[A](Jimmy, had the [D]fastest [Bm]gun
[Em]until [A]yer[D]sterday
But now he's lyin' [G]in the ground
just [A]six [D]feet [A]away.)

[Verse 7]
(Six feet [D]away, just [A]six feet away,
[D]just six[A] feet away...)
