G C                                 D  C
Well he shot four men in a cocaine deal
                  D                    C
And he left them lyin' in an open field
                              D                  C
full of old cars with bullet holes in the mirrors.
                    D           D7
He tried to do his best but he could not.

Chorus:
G                     C
Please take my advice, please take my,
Am                D  D7
please take my advice.
Am                 D D7
Open up the tired eyes,
Gmaj7              C D
open up the tired eyes.

Well, it wasn't supposed to go down that way
But they burned his brother, you know
And they left him lying in the driveway
They let him down with nothing
He tried to do his best but he could not

Chorus:
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

Well tell me more, tell me more, tell me more
I mean was he a heavy doper or
Was he just a loser?
He was a friend of yours
What do you mean he had bullet holes in his mirrors?
He tried to do his best but he could not

Chorus:
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes
