| Dm | C | |
| I wake up in the morning, and I | raise my weary head |
| G | Dm | Dm7 | Dm | |
| I've got an | old coat for a pillow, and the | earth was last | night's | bed |
| F | C | |
| I | don't know where I'm going, only | God knows where I've been |
| G | |
| I'm a | devil on the run, a six gun lover, |
| Dm | |
| a | candle in the wind. |
| When you're brought into this world, they say you're born in sin |
| well at least they gave me something, I didn't have to steal or have to |
| win. |
| Well they tell me that I'm wanted, yeah, I'm a wanted man, |
| I'm a colt in your stable |
| I'm what Cain was to Abel |
| mister, catch me if you can. |
| G | D | |
| I'm going | down in a blaze of | glory |
| G | D | |
| take me | now but know the | truth |
| G | D | |
| I'm going | out in a blaze of | glory |
| C | |
| Lord I | never drew first but I drew first blood |
| G | |
| I'm | no one's son |
| Dm | |
| call me young | gun. |
| You ask about my conscience, and I offer you my soul |
| you ask if I'll grow to be a wise man, well I ask if I'll grow old |
| you ask me if I've known love, and what it's like to sing songs in the |
| rain |
| well, I've seen love come |
| and I've seen it shot down |
| I've seen it die in vain. |
| Shot down in a blaze of glory |
| take me now but know the truth |
| I'm going out in a blaze of glory |
| Lord I never drew first |
| but I drew first blood |
| I'm no one's son |
| call me young gun. |
| - | |
| Each night I go to bed, I pray the Lord my soul to keep |
| no I ain't looking for forgiveness, but before I'm six foot deep |
| Lord, I got to ask a favor, and I hope you'll understand |
| 'cos I've lived life to the fullest, let this boy die like a man |
| staring down a bullet, let me make my final stand. |
| Shot down in a blaze of glory |
| take me now but know the truth |
| I'm going out in a blaze of glory |
| Lord I never drew first |
| but I drew first blood |
| and I'm no one's son |
| call me young gun, |
| I'm a young gun. |
