10 Year Shadow (original #86) Brad Campbell

Having some camera problems so grabbed some images from google free images and spliced them togeather for song-

-Lyrics-
(c) The paper said; you will see'
(G) How we trained this SOB
(F) to play..to play...
well with others (Am)

(c) They looked at him; took off good time'
(G) set him free-said "mo more guns...next time"
(F) And he went off to find...
His Lover (Am).

(C) It would all be a surprise to see
(G) They let him out 10 years early
(F) Surprise for him; a surprise for his
lover (Am)

(C) The bus still ran down his block
(G) he took it and then got out
(F) Where he use to be the number #1 cock with his lover ...(Am).

(Bridge)

(Dm) Hey babe-I don't know; what I'ld do without you
(G) I don't know when that accured to me
(Dm) Whether it was last yer or 10 years ago
(C0 You took into your heart-into your shadow (Am).

(C) Down in the neighborhood...men moved in
(G) Then moved on, more came home...
(F) To play and slay with others...(Am).

(C) Look at the boy...sind of the father
(G) neighborhood said...gonna be like the others
(F) Boy was barely even 13 (Am) years old then

(C) 1st-3 times-got off short time
(G) Then he met a girl-changed his lefe
(F) He met his friend-his future lover (Am).

(C) One more job-then he'ld be done
(G) then he could ride into the sun
(F) live the life on the TV lead by others (Am).

Bridge

(Dm) Hey babe-I don't know-What I would do without you
(G) I don't know when that accured to me
(Dm) You were always the shadow of my shadow
(C) All the light in the world too me (Am)

(C) Banged on the door..no one home
(G) Back on the street...just wait a bitmore
(F) Been 10 years...what's 5 minutes (Am)

(C) Door opened-grandma on the porch
(G) Get in here-she shouted at the girl
(F) You don't want to end up like your mother (Am)

(C) He followed them down the street
(G) little cemetary-stone descrete
(F) To the tombstone of his lover (Am)

(C) Date was his sentencing date
(G) Both laid flowers on the graite
(F) It read- I've gone to my lover

(Bridge)
(Dm) Hey babe-I don't know-what I would do without you
(C) I don't know when this occured to me
(Dm) you were always the shadow of my shadow
(C) All the light in the world to me (am)
