intro A D G x 4
A D G
well , you know your time has come
A D G
and you’re sorry for what you’ve done
D A D G
you should’ve never been playing with a gun in those complicated shadows
A D G
well , there’s a line that you must toe
A D G
and it will soon be time to go
D A D G A D
but it’s darker than you know in those complicated shadows

G D
all you gangsters and rude clowns , who were shooting up the town
E A D G A D
when you should’ve found someone to put the blame on
G D
though the fury’s hot and hard , i still see that cold graveyard
E
there’s a solitary stone that’s got your name on

A D G
you don’t have to take it from me
A D G
but i know of what i spake
A D G
you think you’re like iron and steel
E A D G A D G
but iron and steel will bend and break in these complicated shadows

no . . . ( solo ) A D G x3 A D

G D
sometimes justice , you will find , is just dumb not color blind
E A D G A D
and your poor shattered mind can’t take it all in
G D
all those phantoms and their shades , should jump up on judgement day
E
and say to the almighty “i’m still stinking of sin”

A D G
but the jury was dismissed
A D G
took his neck and they gave it a twist
D A D G A D
so you see , you won’t be missed in those complicated shadows
A D G
you can say just what you like
A D G
in a voice like a john ford film
A D G
take the law into your hands
D A D G
and you will soon get tired of killing in those complicated shadows
A D G
