Chorus:

G+G           C majorC     G+G
One quick minute got me 28 long years

Verse:

   G+G      C majorC         G+G
When sis was born and I was about twelve
                  D MajorD
‘Bout the same time my old man, he went to jail
   G+G          C majorC      G+G
Then mom got sick, boy, she never got right
             D MajorD        G+G
And I took to that baby girl like she was mine
          C majorC     G+G
Night after night, day after day
              D MajorD
I worked my ass off to put money away
   G+G       C majorC       G+G
Then sis grew up and I grew older still
            D MajorD    G+G
And I love her the best and always will

   G+G           C majorC     G+G
Then one quick minute got me 28 long years
                D MajorD
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
       G+G
He laid his hand on my sister
     C majorC        G+G
Too many times when I was near
          D MajorD
And I shot him dead
    G+G
and I don’t care

Verse:

    G+G            C majorC     G+G
Well, Sis met a man whose name I will not tell
                 D MajorD
Nine years her senior and I did wish them well
     G+G
He had a car and a job
C majorC        G+G
and she was in love
            D MajorD     G+G
And I blessed them both the best I could
G+G              C majorC      G+G
Sis loved to dance and she lived honestly
                     D MajorD
But that old dog tried to control her in every way
G+G                C majorC   G+G
First came the drinking then the jealousy
              D MajorD     G+G
This town is too small for me not to see
G+G             C majorC       G+G
Him out every night with every girl in town
                    D MajorD      G+G
Just before he goes home and pushes my sister around
            C majorC   G+G
I thought it out not to intervene
        D MajorD         G+G
Unless my baby sister, she came to me
      G+G           C majorC        G+G
Well, she did one night when that old dog showed up
                     D MajorD
She whispered on the phone, “Ken I ain’t feeling so good”
G+G
When I got to the house
C majorC        G+G
what I saw was true
        D MajorD        G+G
My baby sister beaten black and blue
    G+G            C majorC     G+G
Well I took my last breath of fresh free air
                        D MajorD
And I found that piece of shit asleep in his relaxing chair
G+G               C majorC        G+G
I hit him good with a solid right and a solid left
             D MajorD       G+G
And I forced him to his feet for his last breath
    G+G             C majorC     G+G
Well he cowered and run, but he didn’t get far
                        D MajorD
Cause my sister shot him fucking dead just outside his car
G+G      C majorC
Boy, she wept and I did too
    G+G         D MajorD         G+G C majorC G+G
Then I told the police I did what I had to do

Chorus:

     G+G           C majorC    G+G
And that one quick minute got me 28 long years
                D MajorD
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
       G+G
He laid his hand on my sister
     C majorC        G+G
Too many times when I was near
          D MajorD
And I shot him dead
    G+G
and I don’t care
    G+G
Yeah, one quick minute got me 28 long years
N.C.
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
N.C.
He laid his hand on my sister
N.C.
Too many times when I was near
                 G+G
And I shot him dead and I don’t care
