Wish I had a-known ya
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When you were a little younger
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Around me you might have learned a thing or two
ch]C[/ch
If I had known you longer
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
You might be a little stronger
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
And maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do

As he walked into the poolroom, you could tell he didn't fit
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
In his handmade boots, custom suits, and pearl handled shooting stick
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Tonight there'd be a showdown, then everyone would know
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Who shoots the meanest game around - The Baron or Billy Joe
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Billy Joe looked edgy, about to lose his cool
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
But the Baron's hands were steady, as the two began to duel
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Yeah, he was like a general on a battlefield of slate
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And he'd say to Billy Joe each time he sunk the eight
ch]G[/ch
He'd say...

ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Now Billy Joe was busted, but he hadn't felt the sting
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And from the far end of the table, he threw his mother's wedding ring
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And he said "you won my money, but it ain't gonna do the trick
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
I'll bet this ring on one more game against your fancy stick"
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The Baron's eyes got foggy as the ring rolled on the felt
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And he almost doubled over like he had been hit below the belt
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Twenty years ago, it was the ring his wife had worn
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And he didn't know before he left that a son would soon be born
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
It sounded just like thunder when the Baron shot the break
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
But it grew thickly quiet as he lined up the eight
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Then a warm hand touched his shoulder and it chilled him to the bone
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
When he turned and saw the woman who had loved him for so long
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The game was never finished; the eight ball never fell
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The Baron calmly picked it up and put it on the shelf
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Then he placed the ring in the hands that held him long ago
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And he tossed that fancy shooting stick to his son Billy Joe
ch]G[/ch
And he said...
ch]C[/ch
Wish I had a-known ya
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
