G                                             C                   G
When I was a young boy my father said to me
G                                                             A7                  D
this world's a hard and frigid place and nothing in it's free

G                                                      Em
he said being soft is a big mistake  don't give a sucker an even break; 
G                                                                 D
in a fight be sure they're  facing toward the sun 
C                         D                           Em
and always be prepared to use your gun
C                         D                           G
and always be prepared to use your gun

G                                                C                                              
When I grew up I found it true you get them first or they'll get you
G                                                        D
but I made my way and ended at the top
G                                                C    
Fame and fortune I had it all; minions at my beck and call 
Em                                       C            D          G
And I just kept taking not knowing how to stop


G                                                      Em
Dad said being soft is a big mistake; don't give a sucker an even break; 
G                                                                  D
in a fight be sure they're  facing toward the sun 
C                         D                           Em
and always be prepared to use your gun
C                         D                           G
and always be prepared to use your gun

G                                                C            
One night a woman caught my eye, ripe and luscious, sweet as pie
G                                                        D
Word was she was an heiress from Kentucky
G                                                             C    
The guy beside me saw my glance said Don't be bashful, take a chance
Em                                C                D             G
and ask her out, who knows, you might get lucky

G                                                         C            
We danced and in her warm embrace I offered to show off my place
G                                              D
I said it was the grandest one around
G                                                        C            
Once there I didn't stop to think she must have meddled with my drink
Em                         C       D              G
I woke up on the floor naked and bound

G                                                      Em
She said being soft is a big mistake; don't give a sucker an even break; 
G                                                                   D
in a fight be sure they're  facing toward the sun 
C                         D                           Em
and always be prepared to use your gun
C                         D                           G
and always be prepared to use your gun
