Áño: 1979 -

(Roger Bowling & Billy Ed Wheeler)

Capo en el 3er traste
	  
   
    
A                           D             A    
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.    
                                                     E    
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.    
    A                         D                     A    
His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow,    
                                       E             A    
but something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.    
    
    
A                                  D             A    
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.    
                                                E    
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son.    
  A                               D               A    
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:    
                           E             A    
"Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun.    
    
refrão
A D A Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done. D A E Walk away from trouble if you can. A D A It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek. D E I hope you're old enough to understand: E7 A Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
A D A There's someone for ev'ryone and Tommy's love was Becky. E In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man. A D A One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'. E (Spoken) A They took turns at Becky—There was three of them! A D A Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'. E The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand. A D A He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture. E A As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again:
refrão
A D A "Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done. D A E Walk away from trouble if you can. A D A It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek. D E I hope you're old enough to understand: E7 A Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
(Slide capo to 5th fret) A D A The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom. E One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor. A D A When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! ol' yellow's leavin'." (Whole line spoken) E A But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door. A D A Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him. E He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all. A D A When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'. E A He said, "This one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall. (Spoken) And I heard him say,
refrão
A D A "I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you'd done. E I walk away from trouble when I can. A D A Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek, D E and Papa, I sure hope you understand: E7 A Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man."
A D (No chords) A Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
