So its right, whats Mr. C tells us

Sometimes Shane conflates or ellides the events of the song in order to keep the story coherent and chronologically plausible while losing most of two verses. Usually this works very well but, just occasionally, we inadvertently hear about the crippled, wounded, maimed and disfigured before a shot has been fired in anger.
