Merle And Me
G D A G D (X2)
G D
Back in 1953
A
We stole a car old Merle And Me
G D G
Never thinking we’d be put in jail.
D
You might say that we were green
A
I was barely seventeen
G D
When they put those bars between old Merle And Me.
G D
Late one night we hit the wall
A
Twenty feet we had to fall
G D
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds.
G D
Waiting for that shotgun blast
A
Never thinking we could last
G D
We sure had to grow up fast, old Merle And Me.
Chorus:
G D
We were young and crazy then
A
It was easy to pretend
G D
Acting like we’d never been in reform school.
G D
Looking danger in the eye
A
Walking with our heads held high
G D
We were not afraid to die, old Merle And Me.
G D A G D
G D
We were living by the gun
A
Never caring what wed done
G D
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know.
G D
We would die and go to hell
A
Before we broke our vow to tell
G D
How we escaped that prison cell, old Merle And Me.
G D
How was Merle or Me to know
A
We would end up on death row
G D
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair.
G D
Shot down in a grocery store
A
We got busted at the door
G D
Praying wasn't easy for, old Merle And Me.
Chorus:
