When The Pin Hits The Shell Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 You can Flie to your Mama, you can Clie to your race

 But you Fcan’t lie to nobody with that A♯cold steel in your face

 And the Fsame God that you’re so afraid is gonna Csend you to hell

 Is the Fsame one you’re gonna answer to when the A♯pin hits the shell

 Well, Your Fsister’s been blaming everyCbody

 I don’t Fblame her, man, I guess I’d do the A♯same

 if you was my Fbrother, man, I‘d probably stand Cby you.

 But you Fain’t, man, so I got to go my A♯way.

Chorus 1

 And I ain’t gonna Dmcrawl upon no high horse

 Cause I A♯got thrown off of one

 When I was Fyoung and I ain’t no cowboy

 So I ain’t A♯going where I don’t belong

 It Dmwouldn’t do you no good to let you know that

 It A♯damned near killed me too

 So I ain’t gonna Fmourn for you, man, now that you’re A♯gone

Me and you, we liked our pills and our whiskey

But you don’t want your head full of either one when the house gets quiet and dark

Having fun used to be so damned easy

Racing trains from 2nd Street to Avalon

Chorus 2

Take a trip down memory lane

You don’t see no friendly faces

All the houses have been painted and

Nobody knows your name.

It’s enough to make a man not want

To be nobody’s Daddy

When all he thinks he’s got left to hand down is guilt and shame

Chorus 1

You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race

But you can’t lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face

And the same God that you’re so afraid is gonna send you to hell

Is the same one you’re gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell
