I Didn't Know It Was a Gunfight

This is a metaphor.... dumbfucks!

I Didn’t Know It Was a Gunfight
(Until I Drew And Shot You Down)
Em, Am,B7
Bridge:  B7,F,C,G,Em
B(down, up)  B(down)
 
Em
I didn’t know it was a gunfight
              Am
Until I drew and shot you down
                  B7
Another burial on Boothill
             Em
I am The Kid of great renown.
 
You had quite a reputation
I heard you were quite mean
You copped your look from Lee Marvin
In his role as Kid Shelleen.
 
You rode up all into town
On a sleek slick black pony
But the ride you wanna take me on
Don’t involve that black pony.
 
Your good posture and sturdy leg
Meant fuck all yesterday
When you left me with no choice at all
But to blow your ass away.
 
You were hired by a syndicate
From a city in the East
Now your big black Hearse is pointed West
Pulled by two big sturdy beasts.
 
You were daddy’s little cutie
But then you got cute with me
Now you’re busted just like Donald Trump
But you’re in good company.
 
You see ones have come before you
And they all had the same plan
Better buy yourself a Nintendo
‘stead of messin’ with The Man.
 
Bridge:
    B7
I hope the Good Lord favors you
               C
‘cause to me you’re just a punk
               F
now your carcass rests on Boothill
            B7
you shoulda thought before you thunk.
 
  B7
The bodies just pile higher
                C
I really hope that you’re the last
                  F
I grow weary of this charade
         G                         Em
I wanna put it in my past.
 
Verse:
Darlin’ stick to makin’ records
It’s expression that’s good for you
Babe ya’ got the finest things in life
And I’ve got better things to do.
 
I didn’t know it was a gunfight
Until I drew and shot you down
Now I’m back out here on Main Street
To see who just rode into town.
