Intro:

Am G, Dm7 (x4)

Verse 1:

[Am] [G] James,[Dm7]
Come on [Am]home.[G][Dm7]
[Am] You've [G]been gone [Dm7]too long, baby.
[Am] We [G]can't let our [Dm7]hero [Am]die a-[G]lone.[Dm7]

We miss you [Am]day and [G]night,[Dm7]
[Am] You [G]left town to [Dm7]live by the rifle.
[Am] You [G]left us to [Dm7]fight,
But it [E7]just ain't right,
To take away the light.

Bridge 1:

[F] Remember [C]Genie,
[G] From the ca-[Dm]sino?
[F] She's still a-[C]waiting,
In that [G]big brass bed.

[F] The boys from [C]your gang,
[G] Are knocking [Dm]whisky back,
[F] 'Til they get [C]out of hand,
And [G]wish they were dead.

[F] They're only [Dm]lonely for,
The [C]life that they [G]led,
With their [F]old friends.

Chorus 1:

[Am] Ooh..[G].[F]
Wooh-[Em7]hoo-ooh-[Am]hoo,[G][F]
Wooh-hoo-[Em7]hoo-hoo,

Wooh-hoo-[Em7]hoo-hoo,[(C)] hoo.

Selling your soul to a...
Ooh, James,
Are you selling your soul to a cold gun?

Interlude:

Am G, Dm7 (x2)

Verse 2:

[Am] Where,[G][Dm7]
Lies your [Am]heart?[G][Dm7]
[Am] It's not [G]there in the [Dm7]buckskin baby.
[Am] It's not [G]there in the [Dm7]gin,
That makes you [Am]laugh [G]long and [Dm7]loud.

You're a [Am]coward, [G]James;[Dm7]
[Am] You're [G]running a-[Dm7]way from humanity.
[Am] You're [G]running [Dm7]out on reality.
[E7] It won't be funny,
When they rat-a-tat-tat you down.

Bridge 2:

[F] Remember [C]Genie,
[G] From the ca-[Dm]sino?
[F] She's still a-[C]waiting,
In that [G]big brass bed.

[F] The boys from [C]your gang,
[G] Are knocking [Dm]whisky back,
[F] 'Til they get [C]out of hand,
And [G]wish they were dead.

[F] They're only [Dm]lonely for,
The [C]life that they [G]led,
With their [F]old friends.

Chorus 2:

[Am] Ooh..[G].[F]
Wooh-[Em7]hoo-ooh-[Am]hoo,[G][F]
Wooh-hoo-[Em7]hoo-hoo,
Hoo [Am]hoo,[G][F]
