ANGRY JOHNNY AND THE KILLBILLIES - Life, Love, Death And The Meter Man

    G
He was holding the McCulloch
             C
When he knocked upon her door
       G        D      G
Yesterday she said she didn?t love him anymore

But it wasn?t her who answered
             C
It was some guy he didn?t know
          G
So he fired up that chainsaw
    D        G
and he laid that sucker low
   C       G
So he fired up that chainsaw
    D        G
and he laid that sucker low

But when he saw the clipboard lying
        C
in the severed hand
         G          D
He realized that he just limbed from limbed
     G
the meter man

Heard the sirens coming, and he sat
      C
down on the steps
        G       D     G
Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette
C       G       D     G
Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette

The verdict, it was guilty and they said
       C
"you?re gonna fry"
  G       D
He didn?t see her in the back row,
C        G
didn?t hear her cry

All that he could see was the terrified
         C
face of the meter man
          G        D
The moment that he sent him packing to the
     G
promised land
C         G        D
The moment that he sent him packing to the
     G
promised land

They led him down the hallway,
             C
and the priest said him a prayer
          G
He wasn?t none too happy,
    D         G
but he knew that fair was fair

Still he?d like to thank the meter man,
  C       G
for coming to the door
            D
Otherwise his true love would be
   C        G
lying scattered on the floor
   G         D
Otherwise his true love would be
   C        G
lying scattered on the floor
                 C
And as for her, she never loved again,
      G
no not one time
             C
And though she broke his heart
      D        G
and led him to this ghastly crime

She prayed each day they?d be
     C      G
together on the other side
             C         D
And she cried herself to sleep each night until the
     G
day she died
             C         D
She cried herself to sleep each night until the
     G
day she died
