[Bm] This [E] afternoon when I came home [D] from work I [A] didn't expect what I was about [E] to see
But my darling wife, she [D] was laying in my bed [A] Some other man [E] than me
[Bm]
Well [E] it was old Tommy Johnson, [D] the neighbor's oldest son
And [A] as the anger filled me up, well [D] I reached for [E] my gun
[A] And he screamed and said, please [E] don't do it
[B] As the hatred was running through [E] my head
As [A] I pulled the trigger [E] back slowly but surely
He [B] took his last breath and he fell face [E] down dead
Well
[Bm] [E]
[Bm] [E] my wife just sat there [D] crying in [A] pure disbelief from what [E] I'd done
I said as much as I love you dear, [D] well I just can't trust you
[A] And his death won't be the only [E] one
[A] And she screamed and said, please [E] don't do it
[B] As the hatred was running through [E] my head
As [A] I pulled the trigger [E] back slowly but surely
She [B] took her last breath and she fell face [E] down dead
[Bm] [E]
[Bm] [E] And I'm all alone, [D] nowhere to run
[A] And I don't have no place to hide this [D]
[E] murdering gun
No I won't live my life out [D] in no 8 by 10 cell
[A] As I reach for my gun [D] and it's one [E] lonely shell
And
[A] as the siren screamed as [E] I stood there
[A] [B] With that .38
to [E] my head
[A] As I pulled the trigger [E] back slowly but surely
I took my [B] last breath and I fell face [E] down dead
