[Fm]Number one! The challenge: [Cm/G]demand satisfaction
[Fm/Ab]If they apologize, no nee[Bbm9]d for further action

[Fm]Number two! If they don’t, [Cm/G]grab a friend, that’s your second
[Fm/Ab]Your lieutenant when ther[Bbm9]e’s reckoning to be reckoned

[Fm]Number three! Have your sec[Cm/G]onds meet face to face
[Fm/Ab]Negotiate a peace…Or nego[Bbm9]tiate a time and place

[Fm]Most disputes d[Cm/G]ie, and n[Fm/Ab]o one s[Bbm9]hoots

[Fm]Number four! If they don’t [Cm/G]reach a peace, that’s alright
[Fm/Ab]Time to get some pistols [Bbm9]and a doctor on site

[Fm/Ab]You have him turn around [Bbm9]so he can have deniability

[Fm]Number eight! Your last cha[Cm/G]nce to negotiate
[Fm/Ab]Send in your seconds, see[Bbm9] if they can set the record straight…

[N.C.]Alexander, Aaron Burr, sir
Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?Sure
But your man has to answer for his words, Burr
With his life? We both know that’s absurd, sir

[Fm]Hang on, how many men died [Cm/G]because Lee was inexperienced and ruinous?
[Fm/Ab]Okay, so we’re doin’ this[Bbm9]

[Fm]Number nine! Look ‘em in th[Cm/G]e eye, aim no higher
