[Verse I]
B                   G#
Saw my friend said "hey, where you been?"
         B                  G#
I've been out west fighting Indians.
       B                        G#
He said "Don't you know that to kill is a sin?"
B                    G#
Not for a man with a flag over him.

[Chorus]
      E                        B
Well, death's been creeping up me.
E                              B
Death always seems to be on my side.
         E                B
Saying, "hey, what'ch you need?"
         E                B
Saying, "hey, what'ch you need?"

Time, give me some time
B                  G#
Time, give me some time

        You  could   go   home    by   just to close your   eyes   and   die.

Saying, "hey, what'ch you need?"
         E                B
Saying, "hey, what'ch you need?"
