Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad
When you see my baby sister, be as kind as you can
Break it to my grandma, said that boy?s wild and bad
Break it to them gently when you tell ?em
That I won?t be coming home again
Cause I?m runnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a fugitive
Fightin? for my life and I don?t know if I?ll make it alone
Runnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a fugitive
God I wanna go home, lord I wish I was home
When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes
Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries
Tell her that I love her and I will till the day I die
Tell it to her gently when you tell her
That I won?t be coming home again
I got in too deep with strangers
Thinkin? they could help me find my way
Nobody warned me of the dangers
And it?s always the young and foolish that have to pay
So break it to them gently when you tell my mom and dad
Thank them for the good years and all the lovin? that I had
Break it to my grandma who said the boy is wild and bad
Break it to them gently when you tell them
That I won?t be coming home again
I?m runnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a fugitive
Fightin? for my life and I don?t know if I?ll make it alone
Runnin? with a gun and it isn?t any fun as a fugitive
Lord I wanna go home, lord I wanna go home
You gotta break it to them gently
Break it to them gently
You gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to roll ?em
You gotta break it to them gently
Gotta really try to sooth them
Gotta really try to sooth them
Gotta really try to roll them
You gotta roll it to my mother
Gotta roll it to my grandma, gotta roll the old lady
Roll it to my mother
Roll it to my mother and roll the old lady
Roll it to my grandma
She?s damn near eighty, roll the old lady
Roll it to my mother
Roll it to my mother, gotta roll the old lady
Roll it to my mother
My sister and my mother and roll the old lady
Roll it to my grandma
She?s damn near eighty, roll the old lady...
