C#m
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
              A                B
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
C#m
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
   A        B                  A
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
F#m
No good at home
G#m                                 A
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world 
B
alone
And now its...
[Refrain]
C#m         A

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

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