[Intro:] D
[Verses]
D
Give me my badge and gun
G D
Give me the road that I may run
D A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
D
I've waited all I can
G E7
But I'm just not a patient man
D D A7 D
And I've been hiding here for seven months or so
G
Hand me down my coat and hat
Bm
And grab the winter one at that
G A7
You never know how long I'll be away
D
Give me my badge and gun
G D
Give me the songs that I once sung
A7
Give me those jet-black, kick-back, lay down nights alone
D
This house is safe and warm
G E7
But I was made to chase the storm
D D A7 D
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms
G
Tell my friends I tried my best
Bm
That one day I just up and left
G A7
They probably saw it coming anyway
What can I say
Hey, hey
(Instrumental): D G D A7 D G E7 D A7 D
G
The lock is on the cellar door
Bm
I can't remember what it's for
G A7
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
D
So, so long
(Instrumental): D
D
Give me my badge and gun
G D
Give me the road that I must run
D A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know

The copy of your key is hanging where it used to be
D A7
Good as you've always been to me
D A7
The life I need to lead
D A7 D G D
Is somewhere out there, callin' over those hills

Give my badge and gun
Give me the road that I may run
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
I've waited all I can
But I'm just not a patient man
And I've been hiding here for seven months or so
Hand me down my golden hat
And grab the winter one at that
You never know how long I'll be away
Give me my badge and gun
Give me the songs that I once sung
Give me those jet-black, kick-back, lay down nights alone
This house is safe and warm
But I was made to chase the storm
Taking the whole world on with big ole' empty arms
Tell my friends I tried my best
That one day I just up and left
They probably saw it coming anyway
What can I say
Hey, hey
The lock is on the cellar door
I can't remember what it's for
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
So, so long
Give my badge and gun
Give me the road that I may run
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
A copy of your key is hanging where it used to be
Good as you've always been to me
The life I need to lead
Is somewhere out there, callin' over those hills
