[Chorus]
F                                Bb
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
    Dm                              C
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
      Dm                             Bb
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor
       F                C               F
'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me dead
 
[Verse 1]
Dm                               Bb
One is for the cocaine I've been dealing
Gm                             C
Two is for the cocaine I've consumed
Am                              Dm
Three is for the taxes spent on gambling
    Bb                             C
And four is for the marriages I've doomed
 
[Chorus]
F                                Bb
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
    Dm                              C
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
      Dm                             Bb
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor
       F                C               F
'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me dead
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                                    Bb
Five is for the pink slips I've been stealing
Gm                               C
Six is for the bloodstains on my gloves
Am                              Dm
Seven is for hurting my mothers feelings
    Bb                               C
And eight is for my father's grave I dug
 
[Chorus]
F                                Bb
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
    Dm                              C
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
      Dm                             Bb
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor
       F                C               F
'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me dead
 
[Verse 3]
Dm                                 Bb
Nine is for the affairs I've been causing
Gm                             C
Ten is for the debts I've left unpaid
 Am                               Dm
Eleven is for the outlaws I'm out drawing
    Bb                                        C
And twelve is for breaking free from ball and chain
 
[Bridge]
    Bb              F
And thirteen's for burning my native flag
    Bb                       F
And fourteen's for stealing countless money bags
    Bb              Dm
And fifteen's for a not-so-subtle brag
    Gm             C
And sixteen for my face
 
[Solo]
Dm Bb Gm C
Am Dm Bb C
 
[Verse 4]
Dm                          Bb
Seventeen's a bullet in my chamber
    Gm                            C
And like the others pointed at my head
    Am                             Dm
And as I'm looking down that iron barrel
         Bb                        C
It's the only one I fear I might regret
 
[Chorus]
F                                Bb
Seventeen guns are pointed at my head
    Dm                              C
And if one pops I'll surely meet my end
       Dm                            Bb
He'll send me down the river full of bullet holes and liquor
       F                C
'Cause heaven knows God wants to see me
F                Bb
Heaven knows God wants to see me
F                C               Bb  F
Heaven knows God wants to see me dead
