[Intro:] D
 
 
[Verses]
D
Give me my badge and gun
              G             D
Give me the road that I may run
              D                                   A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
       D
I've waited all I can
              G            E7
But I'm just not a patient man
               D               D      A7      D
And I've been hiding here for seven months or so
 
 
G
Hand me down my coat and hat
     Bm
And grab the winter one at that
     G                           A7
You never know how long I'll be away
 
 
 
D
Give me my badge and gun
             G                D
Give me the songs that I once sung
                                                     A7
Give me those jet-black, kick-back, lay down nights alone
       D
This house is safe and warm
           G                 E7
But I was made to chase the storm
            D                   D      A7     D
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms
 
 
G
Tell my friends I tried my best
     Bm
That one day I just up and left
       G                      A7
They probably saw it coming anyway
 
What can I say
 
Hey, hey
 
 
(Instrumental): D G D A7   D G E7 D A7 D
 
     G
The lock is on the cellar door
   Bm
I can't remember what it's for
    G                                    A7
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
         D
So, so long
 
 
(Instrumental): D
 
 
D
Give me my badge and gun
            G               D
Give me the road that I must run
              D                                  A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
      D                          G              E7
The copy of your key is hanging where it used to be
                D            A7
Good as you've always been to me
     D              A7
The life I need to lead
     D                   A7                  D      G     D
Is somewhere out there, callin' over those hills

*Hand me down my COAT AND HAT instead of golden hat. More accurate than the other version though

For those who want to fingerstyle, I found that using the top string of the chord plus the bottom three strings (e.g. for the A7 chord, the picking will be A, G, B, E) simulated the studio version very well.

I think you left out a D chord on the following lines: (Verse 1) I've waited all I can (Verse 2) This house is safe and warm
