Tonart: C major
Verse 1
C
Everyone considered him the
F
C
coward of the county
He'd never stood one single time
G
to prove the county wrong
F
Tommy but folks just called him
C
Yellow
Something always told me
He was only ten years old when
F
C
his daddy died in prison
I looked after
G
Tommy cause he was my brother's son
C
I still recall the final words
C
Tommy
Son, my life is over,
G
C
but yours has just begun
Promise me, son,
F
C
not to do the things I've done
F
C
G
Walk away from trouble if you can
C
It won't mean you're weak
F
if you turn the other cheek
C
F
I hope you're old enough
Son, you don't have to fight
Db
There's someone for everyone
And
Db
Becky
In her arms he didn't have
Ab
to prove he was a man
Db
One day while he was workin'
The
Gb
Db
Gatlin boys came callin'
They took turns at
Ab
Db
Becky and there was three of them
Gb
Tommy opened up the door and saw his
The torn dress, the shattered look
Ab
was more than he could stand
Db
He reached above the fireplace and
Gb
Db
took down his daddy's pic ture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face,
Ab
Db
he heard these words again
Promise me,
Gb
Db
not to do the things I've done
Gb
Db
Ab
Walk away from trouble if you can
Db
Now it won't mean you're weak
Gb
if you turn the other cheek
Db
Gb
I hope you're old enough
Db
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man
D
The gatlin' boys just laughed at him
G
D
When he walked into the bar room
One of them got up and met
A
him halfway across the floor
When
D
Tommy turned around they said
G
D
Hey, look, old yellow's leavin'
But you could have heard a pin drop
When
A
D
Tommy stopped and locked the door
Twenty years of crawlin'
G
D
Was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back
When
D
Tommy left the bar room
Not a
G
D
Gatlin' boy was standin'
He said, this one's for
Becky
A
D
As he watched the last one fall
And I heard him say,
G
D
I promised your dad not to do the things you've done
G
D
I'll walk away from trouble
D
Now please don't think I'm weak,
G
I didn't turn the other cheek
G
A
Papa, I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight
Everyone considered him
G
the coward of the county.
