B               B7
I saw Big Bear Henry, Two Turtle Jim
E                           E7
Rolling into town, they was ridin' on the rims
B                   B7
Sold their tires to buy themselves
  Db                 Gb    Gb7
A couple of cases of beer
B                         B7
They got there a little too late
        E                            E7
So they broke down the door and they shot up the place
    B                Gb           B
Now everybody's gone crazy 'round here

[Chorus]
          B                  B7
And it's restless nights and endless fights
  E                         E7
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights
B                       Db                 Gb    Gb7
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars

       B                B7
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack
E
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
    B                        Gb                        B
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure


[Verse]
B                    B7
Set up the barricade on the line
    E                  E7
The cops came down and bullets were flying
B                       B7
Held 'em up and then we held 'em off
      Db         Gb   Gb7
'Till just afore dawn

B                 B7
They got Bear and then they got Jim
    E             E7
And then we got a couple of them
          B
And if we make the trade
     Gb                  B
They say they'll call it off

[Chorus]
          B                  B7
And it's restless nights and endless fights
  E                         E7
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights
B                       Db                 Gb    Gb7
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars

       B                B7
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack
E
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
    B                        Gb                        B
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure

[Verse]
B                          B7
Down in the churchyard the mandolins are ringing
    E               E7
and I can hear the choir singing
B                   B7                   Db                  Gb   Gb7
Dogs are a'barkin', sirens are a'wailin' just at the edge of town

    B              B7
The radio says the whole thing's over
    E                     E7
But there ain't much that they don't know
         B                  Gb                     B
'Cause tomorrow morning the whole thing's gonna go down

[Chorus]
          B                  B7
And it's restless nights and endless fights
  E                         E7
A hundred miles an hour and no headlights
B                       Db                 Gb    Gb7
Fiddles and accordions, tear stained steel guitars

       B                B7
It's a tar-paper shack, whiskey and smack
E
Two guns left on a five rifle rack
    B                        Gb                        B
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure

Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure
    B                        Gb                        B
Somebody 'round here's gonna get killed and that's for sure
