 Whenever Kindness Fails
 
 Capo 3rd Fret!!
 
 Intro:  D Bm D Bm
 
 Verse 1:
 
 D                       Bm
 Crossed the desert in a dining car
 D                  Bm
 In the spring of '91
 D                        Bm
 Met some people drinkin' at the bar,
 A
 They were laughin', havin' fun
 
 Told 'em that I hadn't heard the joke
 That was so hilarious
 They said that I was just a dumb cowpoke
 I didn't want to make a fuss
 
 
 Chorus:
 
      G               A
 So I shot them down, one by one
 D                       G
 And left them 'long the rails
        D
 I only use my gun
      A            Bm
 Whenever kindness fails
 
 
 Verse 2:
 
 Moon was in the sign of Scorpio
 The sun was at my back
 I didn't know how far the train would go
 Till the law would find my track
 
 Saw the brakeman and the engineer
 Drinking wine and eating brie
 I asked them who would brake and who would steer
 They started pointing back at me
 
 Chorus
 
 Solo:  Repeat chords in chorus
 
 Verse 3:
 
 I only have a momment to explain
 Just a chance to let you know
 When it's time to board that train
 There are 2 ways you can go.
 
 You can ride the wind into the sun
 Feel a cool wind on your face
 Or you can laugh into a loaded gun
 And you'll likely lose your place
 
 Chorus:
 Yeah I shot them down, one by one
 And left them 'long the rails
 I only use my gun
 Whenever kindness fails
 
 I shot them down, one by one
 And left them 'long the rails
 When I use my gun
 That lonesome whistle wails
 
 Outro:  D  Bm (repeat)
