[Verse 1]
[D]Som[Bm]e pun[D]k [Bm]with a shotgun
[C]killed young Danny Bailey
[Bm]In cold blood,
in the lobby of a [C]downtown motel
[Bm]Killed him in anger,
[D]a for[C]ce he couldn't handle
[Em]Helped pull the trigger that
[F]cut short his life
[Am]And there's not many knew
him [Bb]the way that we did
Sure [Am]enough he was a wild one,
but then aren't [Bb]most hungry kids, [Am]oh, [G]oh?[F][Em]

[Verse 2]
[D]Now it's all ove[Dm]r Dan[G]ny Bai[Bm]ley[E]
And [G]the harvest [A]is [D]in[C]
Dillinger[G]'s dead, [Gm]oh[D]
[C]I guess the[G] cops won again
[D]Now it's all ove[F]r Dan[G]ny Bai[Bm]ley[E]
And [G]the harvest [A]is in

[Verse 3]
[D]We're run[Bm]ning short of heroes
[C]back up here in the hil[G]ls
[D]Without Danny Bai[Bm]ley we're gon[D]na
[C]have to break up our stills
[Bm]So mark his grave well 'caus[C]e
Kentucky loved him
[Em]Born and raised a proper,
I [F]guess life just bugged him, and he
[Am]Found faith in d[Dsus4]anger,
[Am]a li[Bb]festyle he lived by
A [Am]run ning-gun youngster youngster in a [Bb]sad,
restless age, oh, oh
[Am][G][F][Em]

[Verse 4]
[D]Now it's all ove[F]r Dan[G]ny

Now it's all [F]over [G]Danny [Bm]Bailey[E]
And [G]the harvest [A]is [D]in[A]
