TWO GUNSLINGERS- Tom Petty
G C G C G C G C
G C G C G C G C
Two gunslingers, walked out in the street and one said
Em
"I don't wanna fight no more"
G C G C G C G C
And the other gunslinger thought about it and he said, "yeah
Em
What are we fighting for?"
CHORUS:
A B A B
I'm takin' control of my life, I'm takin' control of my life
A B Em G D
I'm takin' control of my life now, right now, oh yeah
Well the crowd that assembled for the gun fight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed
And a stranger told his Mrs. that's the last one of these gunfights
You're ever gonna drag me to ...CHORUS
Well the two gunslingers went ridin' out of town and
Were never heard from no more
And there ain't been a gun fight for a long time, maybe never
But nobody knows for sure ...CHORUS
(from Into The Great Wide Open, 1991)
