Am
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 G Am G Am G E Am G Am
Yes its harder the first time
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
Am
And you've been forever his, ever 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
Am
And then, you found yourself staring at his gun
G D Am
Well, it's harder the first time
G D Am G Am G Am G E Am G Am
Yes its harder the first time
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
G
But he said that he'd done wrong on his way
D
He hung himself by the end of a rope
Am
Now, he's in Heaven, with his head hanging low
G Am
He's in Heaven, with his head hanging low
G Am
Now, he's in Heaven, with his head.....
