The neighbour boy, he ran away, and 
came
                         G
Home, after a year and a day
                  D
No one knows just why he was gone, 
if he was
                         Am
Trying to make it on his own

Being fifteen years old, you get 
pretty cold
                           G
When you're trying to find gold
                      D
But I guess it's best not to wait 
too long, and
                       Am
Leave before damage is done
           G  D                 Am
Well, it's harder the first time
        G  D                 Am   
Yes its harder the first time
G   Am   G   Am   G   E   Am

The first thing he did was buy a 
pretty suit
                               G
He was trying to look good for you
                      D
He bought you dinner, and man

He bought you drinks
And you've been forever his, ever 
     Am
since

And onyour way home, by the side of 
the road
                                 G
You didn't see it coming, did you
                    D
First, you only had eyes for the 
young
And then, you found yourself staring
           Am
 at his gun
           G  D                 Am
Well, it's harder the first time
        G  D                 Am   
Yes its harder the first time
G   Am   G   Am   G   E   Am

The neighbour boy, he ran away, and 
came
                         G
Home, after a year and a day
              D
But he didn't bother to come in, 
'cause he knew
                      Am
That he would never win

The day he came home was a beautiful
 day
But he said that he'd done wrong on 
    G
his way
D
He hung himself by the end of a rope
Now, he's in Heaven, with his head 
           Am
hanging low
G                           
He's in Heaven, with his head 
             Am
hanging low
             G               
Now, he's in Heaven, with his 
           Am
head.....
