A Quick Death In Texas - Clutch | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
Em

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Em
  My nasty Yankee mannerisms
Didn't jive with the local traditions
A                               G    Em
 How was I to know she had a jealous husband?
He was the GM of a Tractor Supply
Well acquainted with the guns and knives
A                                                  G
 Sometimes I swear I have less sense than a bag of hammers

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Em
  I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
                G         D                Em
But now I'm praying for a quick death in Texas

[Bridge]
---------------------
Hey hey
Please forgive me, Mister Gibbons

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Em
  I crawled my way into The Doom Saloon
In an attempt to cauterize my wounds
A                                          G         Em
 I did a terrible job and they became powerfully infected
I found myself atop a stolen roan
Quite convinced that I would never see home
A                                           G
 And all on account of my lack of common manners



[Interlude]
---------------------
The saloon doors stopped swinging on
The piano player stopped playing
In the shadows I could hear Archaic Spanish phrases
The preacher stood up from his table in his right hand he held a bible
And in his left, the business end of a Winchester rifle

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Em
  I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
                                           Em
But now I'm praying for a quick death in Texas

[Chorus 2]
---------------------
Mont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene

[Chorus-Outro]
---------------------
Em
Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
