V1:
          E                          D
This afternoon when I came home from work
         A                          E
I didn''t expect what I was about to see
                        D
My darling wife she was laying in my bed
     A                   E   E-D-D
With some other man than me
           E                  A                 E
It was ol'' Tommy Johnson, the neighbor''s oldest son
           D                          A              E  
And as the anger filled me up well, I reached for my gun

Chorus:
       A                              E
And he screamed and said please don''t do it
       B                             E
As the hatred was running through my head
     A                       E

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



As I pulled the trigger back slowly but surely
            B                                 E
He took his last breath and he fell face down dead

Repeat Intro:

V2:
   E                     D
My wife just sat there a crying
   A                          E     E-D-D
In pure disbelief of what I''d done
          E                        D
I said as much as I love you, dear I just can''t trust you
    A                           E
And his death won''t be the only one

Chorus 2:
        A                                E
And she screamed and said, Please don''t do it
       B                             E
As the hatred was running through my head
     A                       E
As I pulled the trigger back slowly but surely
             B                                  E
She took her last breath and she fell face down dead

Repeat Intro:

V3:
    E                  D
Now I''m all alone with no where to run
      A                                E              E-D-D
And I don''t have no place to hide this murderin gun
     E                            D
No I won''t live my life out in no 8 by 10 cell
     A|                         E
As I reached for my gun and its one lonely shell

Chorus 3:
        A                    E
And the sirens screamed as I stood there
     B              E
With that .38 to my head
     A                       E
As I pulled the trigger back slowly but surely
          B                                E
I took my last breath and I fell face down dead

Repeat Intro: (End on D)
