Rocky Mountain Tragedy

Verse 1
(Spoken)
N.c.
You Know They Say Every Man
N.c.
Has At Least One Good Story To Tell
N.c.
But Alan Delaney Had Two

(Spoken)
GmOne's A Story About A Woman Who Loved Him
GmAnd Gave Him Two Sons
GmBut Couldn't Forget Them Bright Lights
GmGod That Made Him Sad
GmThe Others A Story About Tryin' To Be An Honest Man
GmAnd That Killed Him.

GmYou See Alan Delaney Pushed A Steering Wheel
GmUp And Down The West Coast
GmThat Is Until The Local Four Nineteen Moved In
GmBaaad Buncha Pirates

GmSeein's How Alan Owned His Own Rig
GmThey Talked To Him About Carrying These Little Bundles
GmFrom San Francisco To Vancouver
GmWell He Knew They Wouldn't Take No For An Answer
GmSo He Decided It Was Time To Relocate
GmWaaay Up In The Interior Of British Columbia

(Sung)
GmWell They Coaxed That Old Chrysler Three More Miles
GmAnd They Drifted Into Mont Branch(?) At Ten
GmUnpacked The Kids Fourteen Bags Of Groceries
GmAnd Gently Carried Mary Jane In

GmAnd Old Flat Rate's Bound To Sell Him That Detroit Diesel
GmThings Were Aces For Alan Delaney

(Sung)
GmAnd Then Last Years Model A Nineteen Thirty Two Coupé
GmHit Him At The Runaway
GmThrew A Whisky Bottle
GmWhisky Bottle Full Of Gas
GmExploded As He Hit The Pass
GmAnd At Sixty-Five He Didn't Like His Luck

Verse 3
(Spoken)
GmMary Jane Turned Off The Radio Made Herself A Coffee
GmAnd Sat There Pickin' At The Linoleum
GmShe Realized She Wasn't Pinin' For The City Any Longer
GmAlan Had Made Her And The Boys A Good Home Out Here In The Mountains
GmAnd She Agreed That When He Came Home That Night She'd Tell Him
GmBut Just As It's Written
GmWhen One Door Opens Another Closes

(Sung)
GmThe Scars On The Pavement Shows The Point Of Entry
GmHe Had Chosen The Hard Way To The Valley Floor
GmAnd As Those Cedars Ricochetted Off The Reo's Fenders
GmHe Took A Breath And Crossed Himself And Thought Of Her Once More
