Pistol Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, this is what happens
when you fall for a pistol:
No, no, I don't mean no gun.
[A]Talkin' 'bout a man with
bells and whistles:
[G]The kind that keeps your heart on the [F]run.
[D]I

[Verse 2]
met that cat in a two- bit juke- joint:
Took my money in a game of pool.
[A]Next thing I knew,
I was sittin' 'hind the eight ball,
[G]Playin' my heart,
breakin' all the [C]rules.
Throw your rope around the
[G]runaway freight train,
[D]You know it's gonna drag
you down the track.
[C]You dust your britches off,
[G]an' tell yourself you're insane,
[A]But every time you love
a man like that:

[Verse 3]
You get [D]lost, [G]you get lon[D]ely.
[G]You get cal[D]ls fro[G]m the police.[D]
Tell [G]your Mama: "Don't
know what [D]happened."[G]
Well [A]you wanted trouble?
Now you got a fistful.
That's what happens when
you fall for a pis[D]tol.
[A]Ah ha.

[G][A]
Well, [D]you'd

[Verse 4]
think by now [Dm]I'd
[D]a- learned my les[Dm]son.
[D]But I keep makin' them same mistakes.
[A]There must be some clue
I keep [G]missin':
How many times can a good heart break?
[C]Well, I keep fallin' for all[G]
them [D]bad boys:
Poor or rich as dirt.
[C]Lots of fun, and I a[G]in't jokin',
[A]But every time I think I won't get hurt:

[Verse 5]
I get [D]lost, [G]I get lon[D]ely.
[G]I get cal[D]ls fro[G]m the police.
[D]Tell my Mama,
[G]"Don't know what hap[D]pened."
[G]Well, I w[A]anted trouble?
Now I got a fistful.
That's what happens when
you fall for a [D]pis[A]tol.

[G]

[Verse 6]
Well, you get [D]lost,
[G]you get lon[D]ely.[G]
You get [D]calls [G]from the police.
[D]Tell you[G]r Mama: "Don't
know what [D]happene[G]d."
Well [A]you wanted trouble,
now you got a fistful.
Well, that's what happens [G]when
you fall for a [A]pis[D] to[Dm]l.
[D]Well, that's what happens when you fall for a pis[A]tol,
[D]gir[A]l.[G]

[Verse 7]
Sort of men'd give you a headache,
[Dm]now.[D][Dm][D][Dm][D][G]
[D][A]
Oh, you'd [G]better get [C]on [G]home.[Dm]
