Elton John - The Ballad Of Danny Bailey: chords

Bm                              C
Some punk with a shotgun killed - young Danny Bailey -
Bm                                C
In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel.
Bm                      C
Killed him in anger. A force he couldn't handle -
Em7                          Fmaj7
helped pull the trigger that cut short his life.
            Am                      A#maj7
And there's - not many knew him the way that we did.
      Am                                       A#maj7
Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren't most hungry kids?
      Am  G F Em
Oh - ohhh...

Chorus:
D            F     G     Bm    Em           G  A      D
Now it's all over Danny Bailey   - and the harvest is in.
C           G/B   Gm/A#     D/A C/G            G         D
Dillinger's dead.  Oh - oh - oh   I guess the cops won again.
             F     G    Bm    Em            G  A      D
Now it's all over Danny Bailey   - and the harvest is in.

We're running short of heroes back up here in the hills
Without Danny Bailey, we're gonna have to break up our stills
So mark his grave well 'cause Kentucky loved him
Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him
And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by
A running gun youngster in a sad restless age
