capo 3rd fret its just c f and g the whole song listen to it to get the timing
intro c hammer middle finger
Pick me up softly, I don t know the shape that I m in
I dropped through the windows and down through the buildings
And up to the front door again
There was a gunfight out in the moonlight
To settle the matters at hand
So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly
I don t know the shape that I m in
Chorus:
And I did my best with my time in the West
And I tried not to leave anyone in distress
And I have stood tall yeah and I never lied
That s a lie
But I surely tried
To do everything I could do right
Pick me up softly, I don t know how much I ve been hurt
One bullet missed me, the other one kissed me
And left me to die in the dirt
They killed every last man and shot down my Suzanne
It s over whatever it s worth
So pick me up stranger, pick me up softly
I don t know how much I ve been hurt
Repeat chorus
Pick me up softly, I don t know long I have left
Oh I am not hurtin , but death is a-certain
There s a bullet that lays in my chest
I m flooded with memories and people and sweet dreams
And words to my favourite songs
And I ll buy the last round if you lay my head down
And sing one for me when I m gone
Repeat chorus
