The Ballad of Tommy Foster

Capo I

Intro Am G Am

Am G

For thirty eight years, my life had begun

Am G

I was never a man without holding a gun

Am G Am

Now all that I hold is regret and I'm too old to run.

Am G

And for thirty eight years, I've not walked on grass

Am G

Living the life of my crimes from the past

Am G Am

But I'd give it all back just to lie in the arms of my love.

* CHORUS *:

C G

Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrow

Am G

Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow

C G

I am a bank robber, and a girl I desire

Am G

I've changed for the better I am not a damn liar

Am G Am

My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life.

Am G

And for thiry eight years, I've seen growm men cry

Am G

and I've watched them come back time after time

Am G Am

and I hate them for having the chance, why can't it be mine.

Am G

And for thirty eight years, it's long since the stars

Am G

shined into my eyes, not to care of my past

Am G Am

And the lady I love, you've found the good in my heart.

* CHORUS *

Bridge:

F C

It's three thirty again, the head miles begin

G Am

And the windows too high and I can't see the sun

F C

And I can't stop this pain, so I think of you love

G Am

You've shown me the way, while others gave up

G Am

Oh you've shown me the way to what I can become.

Outro:

Am G Am

Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life

Am G Am

Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed i-s m-y life.

Am G Am
