lirik lagu joe ely - whenever kindness fails
(robert earl keen, jr.)
capo 3rd frat!
intro: d bm d bm
verse 1:
d bm
crossed the desert in a dining car
d bm
in the spring of ’91
d bm
met some people drinkin’ at the bar,
a
they were laughin’, havin’ fun
told ’em that i hadn’t heard the joke
that was so hilarious
they said that i was just a dumb cowpoke
i didn’t want to make a fuss
chorus:
g a
so i shot them down, one by one
d g
and left them ‘long the rails
d
i only use my gun
a bm
whenever kindness fails
verse 2:
moon was in the sign of scorpio
the sun was at my back
i didn’t know how far the train would go
till the law would find my track
saw the brakeman and the engineer
drinking wine and eating brie
i asked them who would brake and who would steer
they started pointing back at me
chorus
solo: repeat chords in chorus
verse 3:
i only have a momment to explain
just a chance to let you know
when it’s time to board that train
there are 2 ways you can go.
you can ride the wind into the sun
feel a cool wind on your face
or you can laugh into a loaded gun
and you’ll likely lose your place
chorus:
yeah i shot them down, one by one
and left them ‘long the rails
i only use my gun
whenever kindness fails
i shot them down, one by one
and left them ‘long the rails
when i use my gun
that lonesome whistle wails
outro: d bm (repeat)
