the sad bag of shaky jake Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[D]When I was just
a kid back in Abeline
I had to use a gun, well for my own sake
I shot a man down when
I was just eighteen
And from that day they

[Verse 2]
call me Shaky Jake
[D]Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake

[Interlude 1]
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake
[D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Ma says I was born under bad sign
I was lookin' for the chance
to make or break
I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron
I'm the devil's own son,
I'm Shaky Jake

[Verse 4]
[D]Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake

[Verse 5]
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake
[G]I keep on [D]the run now
[C]I travel by nig[D]ht
[G]I don't nee[D]d anyone
But [C]someone, one day,
somewhere's gonna [A]see [D]me right

[Verse 6]
Dig a hole about six [D]foot deep
Pray the Lord my [G]soul to take
[D]I don't want flowers
and nobody's gonna weep
Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake

[Verse 7]
Oh [D]Shaky Jake, boy,
what you gonna do?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake

[Verse 8]
[D]Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake

[Verse 9]
Oh [D]Shaky Jake, boy,
what you gonna do?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake
