One..One, two, three, four!

D
Last night I dreamed he was runnin' through the outlands
                                         G
Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck
                                             Bm
I held your daddy's gun in my trembling hands
                                  G
Down the highway another stranger comes
                                  D    (Fig #1)
You gotta take 'em baby when they come

(Fig #1)
Little girl put on your best dress
                                    (Fig. #2)        
Cause we're going out on the town tonight
                                   Bm
Better bring along your switchblade
                                             (Fig. #2)
'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight
                                D        (Fig. #1)
You've got to take 'em baby as they come

                          G
You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come girl
                 Bm                          G
Take 'em as they come girl, take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em baby as they come

(Fig. #1)
God, save the rider in the black night
                                      (Fig. #2)
Save the man who taught that it was right
                             Bm
To do what they have done, girl
                            G
TO become what we have become
                                  (Fig. #1)
You gotta take 'em baby when they come

(Fig. #1)
Little girl gone are the days
                               (Fig. #2)
Faded away into a clear blue night
                        Bm
And all the vows we made
                                         (Fig. #2)
Lie shattered and broken in the morning light
                                    (Fig. #1)
You gotta take 'em baby when they come

                          G
You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em baby as they come

                             Em                      G
I know your heart is breaking,   I can feel it too girl
                        Em                A
Though my finger on the trigger's shakin'
                       (Fig. #1)
Here, I swear to you girl

(Fig. #1)
If I could take all your sorrow 
                                       (Fig. #2)
So that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue
             Bm                                      G
Come tomorrow, that's what I'd do for you, little one
                                   (Fig. #1)
I swear I'll take 'em baby as they come

                G
Take 'em, take 'em as they come girl
                 Bm               G
 Take 'em as they come girl, take 'em as they come girl

 Take 'em as they come girl, take 'em as they come girl

Take 'em baby as they come

                G
Take 'em, take 'em as they come girl
                 Bm              G
Take 'em as they come girl, take 'em as they come girl
