Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I nev[D]er danced
[A]the Charles[D]ton
or Bootleg [G]Whiskey cross a [F#m]county [Em]line
[D]I wasn't around whe[A]n the sto[Bm]ck
market crashed [A]down,[D]
[Em]back in [Asus4]29[A]
The [D]only gang[A]ster I've [D]ever seen
was [G]Cagney on the [F#m]Late L[Em]ate Show
[D]But I'v[G]e been down some
[D]dangerous road[Bm]s
where Al Ca[A]pone wouldn't dare to [D]go
[G]Back in my roaring twen[D]ties,
I burned a [A]candle at both [D]ends
[G]I never thought I'd see t[D]hirty,
talk[Em]ing like I did back [Asus4]then[A]
[G]Ended my life on the [D]wild side,
there was [A]nothing too [Bbdim]crazy to do[Bm]
[G]Back in my roving twen[D]ties,
[A]back before there was [D]you[G]
[D]Fast times and [A]faster win[D]nin'
Was [G]all that I was [F#m]livin' [Em]for
[D]But[A] you[D] came and you cared
[A]You [Bm]showed my heart
[A]there[Em][A][Asus4]
[A]Now [D]I'm [A]drivin' [D]fifty -five
[G]Instead of about a hundred an[Em]d ten[D]
[G]I've got a reason to [D]ride the line
[Bm]I di[A]dn't have back then[D]
[G]Back in my roaring twen[D]ties,
I burned a [A]candle at both [D]ends
[G]I never thought I'd see t[D]hirty,
rock[Em]in' like I did back [Asus4]then[A]
Liv[G]in' my life on the [D]wild side
There was [A]nothin' too [Bbdim]crazy to do[Bm]
[G]Back in my roarin' twen[D]ties
[A]Back before there was [D]you
[G]Back in my roarin' [D]twenties
[A]That before there was you

[Outro 1]
