Am G Dm7 You've been gone too long, baby. Am G Dm7 Am G Dm7 We can't let our hero die a-lone. Am G Dm7 We miss you day and night, Am G Dm7 You left town to live by the rifle. Am G Dm7 You left us to fight, E7 But it just ain't right, To take away the light. Bridge 1: F C Remember Genie, G Dm From the ca-sino? F C She's still a-waiting, G In that big brass bed.

F Dm They're only lonely for, C G The life that they led, F With their old friends. Chorus 1: Am GF Ooh...

E7 It won't be funny, When they rat-a-tat-tat you down. Bridge 2: F C Remember Genie, G Dm From the ca-sino? F C She's still a-waiting, G In that big brass bed.
