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

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

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

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

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

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