"Looks Like I Killed Again" E I shot a man this morning Thought it was a dream B7 But when I woke up E Gun in my hand Now the law is surely after me But I don't know what I've done B7 E So I better run to the promised land Well, I grabbed a knife and held it tight A I stabbed straight through my heart E But I didn't die. Lord, I wonder why B7 E B7 E Musta been that evil dope. I've been snortin' cocaine so god damn long And the needle ain't a stranger to my right arm Peyote it only makes me smile Whiskey, make me love a w***e a good long while A I can't see the world through sober eyes Without beggin' lord, "Please let me die." E That ol' marijuana opened a gate a mile wide, D# E Now it looks like I killed again. I was headed for the border But the law man knew I'd come B7 So i pulled my gun E I shot him down Then I shot his horse and I stole his clothes And a picture of his wife B7 And I walked right on E Down to Mexico Then suddenly, I realized, A "Lord, what have I done?" E Price on my head, I'm wanted dead B7 E B7 E Because I killed again But I've been snortin' cocaine all damn day long And the needle's just a-stuck in my right arm One way to end this misery I Could pray to the devil "Come take me" A But I ain't gonna stand around and wait, I'm gonna reach right out and grab my fate E I'll take my gunpowder Cut me a line half a mile wide and snort it B7 E B7 E Now I ain't gonna kill again "Looks Like I Killed Again" E I shot a man this morning Thought it was a dream B7 But when I woke up E Gun in my hand Now the law is surely after me But I don't know what I've done
