Merle And Me

G D A G D (X2)

G           D
Back in 1953
                            A
We stole a car old Merle And Me
                    G              
Never thinking we'd be put in jail.
  D    G

                                  D
You might say that we were green
                            A
I was barely seventeen
                   G              
When they put those bars between old
D
 Merle And Me.

G                                  D
Late one night we hit the wall
                          A
Twenty feet we had to fall
                         G       
To the ground where we could craw 
                D
into the weeds.
G                                D
Waiting for that shotgun blast
                                 A
Never thinking we could last
               G                
We sure had to grow up fast, old 
      D
Merle And Me.

G                                 D
We were young and crazy then
                          A
It was easy to pretend
               G              
Acting like we'd never been in 
          D
reform school.
G                         D
Looking danger in the eye
                                  A
Walking with our heads held high
             G                D
We were not afraid to die, old Merle
 And Me.

G D A G D

G                            D
We were living by the gun
                            A
Never caring what wed done
                            G   
Swearing it was all just fun and 
    D
games you know.
G                          D
We would die and go to hell
                                  A
Before we broke our vow to tell

                 G                 
How we escaped that prison cell, 
     D
old Merle And Me.

G                                 D
How was Merle or Me to know
                                  A
We would end up on death row
                G                  
Waiting for our turn in the 
   D
electric chair.
G                                  D
Shot down in a grocery store
                          A
We got busted at the door
               G                   
Praying wasn't easy for, old Merle 
D
And Me.

[Chorus]
G                                 D
We were young and crazy then
                          A
It was easy to pretend
               G              
Acting like we'd never been in 
          D
reform school.
G                         D
Looking danger in the eye
                                  A
Walking with our heads held high
             G                D
We were not afraid to die, old Merle
 And Me.
