[G] [F] [C]
Mary Ann and Wanda were the [F] best of friends [Cm] all through their high school [G] days.
[C]
Both members [F] of the 4-H club, [C] both [Gm] active in the [C] FFA.
After graduation [Fm] Mary Ann went out
[C] looking for a bright new [G] world.
[C]
Wanda looked all around this town and all she [Gm] found [C] was Earl.
But it wasn't two weeks [F] after she got married [C] that Wanda started getting [G] abused.
She [C] put on dark glasses, [F] long sleeved blouses, [C] makeup [G] to cover [C] her bruise.
Well she finally got the nerve [F] to file for divorce.
[C] She let the law take it [G] from there.
But [C] Earl walked right through that [F] frustrating odor [C] and put her in [G] intensive [C] care.
[Am] Right away Mary Ann [G] flew in from Atlanta on [F] a red-eyed midnight [C] flight.
She [Am] helped Wanda
pay and [G] they worked out a plan and [F] it didn't take them long to [G] decide [C] that Earl had to die.

the cops [F] came by to bring Earl in, they searched the house high and low.
Then they [D] tipped their hats and said thank you ladies if you hear from him let us [C] know.
Well the weeks went by [F] and spring turned to summer [C] and summer faded into
[G] fall.
[Fm]
[C] It turns out he [F] was a missing person who [C] [G] nobody missed [C] at all.
[Am] So the girl bought some land [G] at a roadside [F] stand out on
[C] 109.
They [Am] sell Tennessee ham [G] and strawberry jam and [F] they don't lose any sleep [G] at night.
Cause Earl [C] had to die.
