Kenny Rogersගේ Coward Of The County ගීතයට ගිටාර් කෝඩ්ස්

[Intro]
---------------------
C

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C
Everyone considered him
    F                 C
The coward of the county
He'd never stood
One single time To prove
                G
The county wrong
    C
His mama named him Tommy,
    F                     C
But folks just called him Yellow
Something always told me
          G                  C
They were reading Tommy wrong

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C
He was only ten years old
         F             C
When his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy
                              G
'Cause he was my brother's son
  C
I still recall the final words
   F                  C
My brother said to Tommy,
"Son, my life is over,
    G                   C
But yours has just begun

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C                          F
"Promise me, son, not to do
                C    F
The things I've done walk away from
C                 G C
Trouble if you can  it won't mean
                       F               C
You're weak if you turn The other cheek
                        F
I hope you're Old enough
        G
to understand:
                                          C
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

[Verse 3]
---------------------
        C#
There's someone for everyone,
    F#               C#
And Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have
                     G#
To prove he was a man
    C#
One day while he was working
    F#               C#
The Gatlin boys came calling
They took turns at Becky
G#                   C#
  There was three of them

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C#
Tommy opened up the door
    F#            C#
And saw his Becky crying
The torn dress, the shattered look
                       G#
Was more than he could stand
   C#
He reached above the fireplace
         F#                  C#
And took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face
   G#                      C#
He heard these words again,

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C#                         F#
"Promise me, son, not to do
                C#   F#
The things I've done walk away from
C#                G# C#
Trouble if you can   it won't mean
                       F#               C#
You're weak if you turn  The other cheek
                        F#
I hope you're Old enough
        G#
to understand:
                                          C#
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."

[Verse 5]
---------------------
    D
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him
        G                  D
When he walked into the bar room
One of them got up and met him half
                    A     D
Way 'cross the floor when Tommy turned
                        G
Around they said, "Hey, look, old
         D
Yellow's leaving. "But you could've
                      A
Heard a pin drop When Tommy stopped
               D
And locked the door

[Verse 6]
---------------------
D
Twenty years of crawling
    G            D
Was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holding nothing back,
                      A     D
He let 'em have it all when Tommy
                        G
Left the bar room not a Gatlin boy
    D
Was standing he said, "This one's
                  A
For Becky," as he watched
             D
The last one fall n' I heard him say

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
   D                           G
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things
       D      G
You've done I walk away from
D                 A    D
Trouble when I can now please don't
                            G               D
Think I'm weak I didn't turn The other cheek
                  G
and, Papa, I sure hope
         A
You understand: sometimes you gotta
                         D
Fight when you're a man."

[Outro]

D
Everyone considered him
    G                   D
The coward of the county
