Two-Dollar Pistol Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
We [D]saw him when he got off at the station
[G]You can spo[D]t a city
slicker right [A]away
There's [D]lots of fancy dudes
come to our [G]county
[D]But [Em]they [D]live to rule the [A]day[D]
One fella from the city
thought that [G]he knew how to drink
It [D]happens that sometimes a guy
ain't [E]tough as he might [A]think
He [D]ordered the shutter
and he [G]had a couple straights
He [D]had a date that evening
but he got there [A]five days [D]late
He came to town as hot as
a two [G]-dollar pistol
He was [D]wearing to go like a [A]gift
But when he [D]left
he was cold as a refri[G]gerator
And he [D]rode him out of
[A]town on the [D]rail[A][D]
Well, he went into a gambling house
And [G]things was on the square
Until [D]it was discovered
He [E]wasn't playing [A]fair
Things [D]happened so sudden
That he [G]couldn't have a chance
The [D]seascans was a -roarin'
And he [A]went into his [D]dance
He came to town as fast
As a [G]two -dollar pistol
He was [D]wearing to go right again
[A]But when he lef[D]t he was
cold as a refriger[G]ator
And we [D]rode him out of [A]town on [D]the rail
[A][D]
[G][D][A][D]
[G][D][A][D]
[A][D]
Now he got himself all tied up
with a lady [G]known as Lou
And that [D]is something
that no fella ever [E]ought [A]to do
She pumped [D]off all his money,
she [G]nearly took his heart
She [D]didn't have no buggy,
but she [A]took him for a [D]ride
He came to town
as hot as a two [G]-dollar biscuit
He was [D]ready to go like a [A]gal
But when he [D]left,
he was cold as a refri[G]gerator
And we [D]rode him out of [A]town on
[D]the rail[E][F][Bb][F]
[C][F][Bb][F][C]
[F]
[E]That's why[D] I say be careful
when you're [G]at an East Springs town
Do [D]not lose your discretion, friend,
by [E]throwing it around
[A]There's [D]nothing cold as women,
noth[G]ing hot as lead
There's [D]nothing you can do
till the [A]sheriff finds you [D]dead
He came to town
as hot as a two [G]-dollar pistol
He was [D]wearing to go like a [A]gale
But when he [D]left
he was cold as a refri[G]gerator
And we [D]rode him out of [A]town on the [D]rail
Yes, we rode him out of
[A]town on the [D]rail[A][D]
you
