18 And Life chords by Skid Row

INTRO: C#m(4x)-A-B

C#m
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
       A        B
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
C#m
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade
  A    B         A
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
F#m
No good at home
A                 B
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world

alone

And now its...

REFRAIN:

C#m     A
Eighteen and life you got it
F#m     B
EIghteen and life you know
C#m     A
Your crime is time and it's
B
Eighteen and life to go
C#m     A
Eighteen and life you got it
F#m     B
Eighteen and life you know
C#m     A
Your crime is time and it's
B       C#m
Eighteen and life to go

[REPEAT INTRO]

C#m         A          B
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
C#m            A      B
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
C#m
They say he loved adventure.
A     B                A
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
B
with a gun
A            F#m
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
A              B
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your

best friend

And now it's...

[REPEAT REFRAIN]

BRIDGE:

A          F#m
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
A               B
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
