So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
G#m
No good at home
B                                  C#
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world

alone

D#m                  B                    C#
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
D#m                        B           C#
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
D#m
They say he loved adventure.
B          C#                                B
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
C#
with a gun
B                        G#m
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
B                            C#
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your

best friend

And now it's...

Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
B                             C#
He fired his six shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
