Pretty tough assignment this week but this is
what I came up with.
Looks like the censor doesn't approve of the fourth word in the
second line. :oops:
Last Man Standing
( Driving Beat - Capo 2 Key of F#m)
Em - A - Em - A - Em - A - B7
Em --------------------- A
Goin' down to the river tonight
Em-----------------------------B7
Don't give a damn if it's wrong or right
Em----------------------------------A
Got a pistol in my pocket and a soul to sell
B7
One way or the other someone's goin' to Hell
Em-------------------------------A
Be it last man standing or the odd man out
Em------------------------------------B7
Judgment day is comin' Lord there ain't no doubt
Em-------------------------------A
I'll be seekin' restitution for an evil deed
B7
One way or the other someone's gonna bleed
Em - A - Em - A - Em - A - B7
I don't care what the Good Book said
The man deserves a bullet in the head
He took away my woman and that's a crime
One way or the other someone's doin' time
Be it last man standing or the odd man out
Judgment day is comin' Lord there ain't no doubt
I'll be seekin' restitution for an evil deed
One way or the other someone's gonna bleed
Em - A - Em - A - Em - A - B7
Going down to the river tonight
Don't give a damn if it's wrong or right
Got a pistol in my pocket and a soul to sell
One way or the other someone's goin' to Hell
Be it last man standing or the odd man out
Judgment day is comin' Lord there ain't no doubt
I'll be seekin' restitution for an evil deed
One way or the other someone's gonna bleed
Be it last man standing or the odd man out
Judgment day is coming' Lord there ain't no doubt
Got a pistol in my pocket and a soul to sell
One way or the other someone's goin' to Hell
Instrumental Verse
Em - A - Em - A - Em - A ... Fade out

Trev...
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Thanks Trev,
There are a couple of lines I'm not completely satisfied with
but for the most part I'm pleased with the results. Lyrically I
was trying to go for a Johnny Cash "Shot a man in Reno" type
of vibe.
I got your PM and replied with an MP3. You are very close on the strum pattern.
Good luck on "Jet Plane". You should be able to nail it in a month or less.

Hi John
This is good work- just a few lines here and there that are difficult to fit in with the rhythm I was playing to it.
Otherwise though I really like it I think it works very well for the assignment.
Good stuff
