Am
I woke up this mornin in a ditch again, I swear that womans the devil's kin
F
I went back home to get my stuff, what I came to find was proof enough
C
I seen her lying with the boy next door, I always knew she was a two bit whore
G
...I still loved her
Am
I grabbed my duffel and some stuff from the back, and I went outside to the old spruce shack
F
grabbed my rifle and some gasoline, I never thought I'd get that mean
C
if she'd only listened to what I said, there'd be no one missin and no one dead
G
...and I mean it
CHORUS (faster pace)
Am
my heart is pounding my fists are tight, full moon shinin on the dead of the night
F
I tried to remember somethin jesus said, the words of the devil rang through instead
C
he said burn that woman dig a hole for the clown, my head is spinnin like a merry go round
G
i can't stop it
fiddle solo (same chords)
(back to slow pace)
Am
I done just as the devil said, I done it all without regret
F
I knew I should be feeling bad, I'll tell you flat out she made me mad
C
I still got her name tattooed across my calf, I think about her while looking back
G
and think ...I miss her
Am
now I listen to the words that the good lord says, on church on sunday with my new girlfriend
F
she don't know about my past, I don't tell she don't ask
C
somehow I've come to understand that the good lord has a master plan
G
...and I believe him
CHORUS
fiddle solo
Am
well that's how it went down on that cold october night
F
you know you cant always judge a person by how they look on the outside
C
everybodies got a story... that could make you weep
G
...
