          D                             A
Hey Patty Garrett, that's what I used to call you.
                 D                          A
They tell me you want me, but I here they've got you.
                D                            A
They made you a law man, with a badge made of silver.
                   E7                   A
They paid you some money to sell them my blood.
        A7                    D                      A
But you say:  This ain't about me and this ain't about you,
                        E7                    A7
Or the good and the bad times, we've both been through.
         A7           D                               A
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed,
                       E7                       A
You do what you've got to, 'cause you can't walk away.
                         D                       A
I wonder what would have happened if you were the killer 
              D                        A
And I was the hero, would things be the same?  
                D                      A
Or would I have traded your life for my own life?  
             E7                     A
Would I have paid your debts in your place?
        A7                         D                      A
I don't know.  But this ain't about me and this ain't about you,
                        E7                   A7
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through.
         A7           D                              A
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed,
                       E7                        A7
You do what you've got to, 'cause you can't walk away.
      D                   A
Blood Money, that's what I call it,
                     E7                     A7
'Cause money for blood, ain't no fair exchange. 
      D                        A
Blood Money, bought and then sold you,
                         E7                        A
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave.
