Verse:
DmDm         C majorC    DmDm
I killed JC down in Chesterfield
C majorC                DmDm
And now they’re cooking my last meal
A#A#            C majorC
He had it coming I still contend
A#A#          C majorC   DmDm
But we know how this story ends

Verse:
DmDm        C majorC   DmDm
It happened up on King’s Highway
C majorC               DmDm
It was a cold dark winter Saturday
A#A#           C majorC
I took him out into the trees
A#A#         C majorC   DmDm
I put that bastard on his knees

Chorus:
FF                 DmDm
I said why’d you do the things you did
A#A#             DmDm
God damn it she was just a kid
A#A#              A augmentedA
He laughed and said she was a dear
A#A#           C majorC   DmDm
I slit his throat from ear to ear

Verse:
DmDm          C majorC    DmDm
His laughing stopped his body fell
C majorC             DmDm
He gurgled like an arteson well
A#A#             C majorC
I beat him till my knuckles broke
A#A#         C majorC    DmDm
I beat him till his face was gone

Chorus:
FF                   DmDm
When they found me I was drenched with blood
A#A#               DmDm
Then they found his body in the mud
A#A#                   A augmentedA
They said what was it you were thinking son
A#A#            C majorC     DmDm
I said I did what you all should’ve done

Verse:
DmDm        C majorC   DmDm
So here we are my final hour
C majorC               DmDm
Damned by fools and judged by cowards
A#A#              C majorC
I’ve made peace with my sweet Lord
A#A#         C majorC    DmDm
The rest of you are on your own
