G#                D#
I'm moving out of Tombstone, yeah with the
C#                D#
sun behind my back
G#                  D#
I'm tired of people talking of things
C#
that I lack
A#m
Ever since a week ago,
     C#             G#
the day he passed away
           G#              D#
I've been taking too much notice of the
 C#                      D#
things they've had to say

G#                      D#
And all they say is you ain't half the
C#               D#
man he used to be
G#                     D#
He had strength and he worked his life to
C#
feed his family
A#m
So if that's the way it has to be,
      C#             G#
I'll say goodbye to you
    G#              D#
I'm not the guy, or so it seems to
C#                   D#
fill my old man's shoes

Chorus:
G#                       D#
Like I'm a wicked way of life,
C#                  G#
the kind that should be tamed
       G#             D#
They'd like to see me locked in jail and
 C#               G#
tied up in their chains
        G#         A#m
Oh it's hard and I can't see
C#                      G#
what they want me to do Lord, Lord
      G#
They seem to think I should
A#m           C#        G#
step into the old man's shoes - x4

Lord, I said
Like I'm a wicked way of life,
the kind that should be tamed
