A minorAm D7sus2
John came home from war this morning
DmDm 
C majorC 
C/BC/B
He found his wife, she wasn't there
A minorAm D7sus2
And a cold cold feeling crept through his bones
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
When he found a note at the bottom of the stairs
A minorAm D7sus2
Said, "I'm in love with your brother, oh I've found a preacher
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
And I'm in love and I'm heading for the South
A minorAm D7sus2
Boy you were fine, but I've changed my mind
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
I'm boarding the next train out of town"

A minorAm D7sus2
John flew into a rage like thunder
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
He brought his fist down and he cracked the floor
A minorAm
He thought he broke bone
D7sus2
The way he screamed and he roared
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
And he headed right back out the door
A minorAm
Said, "I'm going to find my brother
D7sus2 DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
God damn this preacher
I'm going to put him underneath a stone
A minorAm D7sus2
So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feel small
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
They'll remember the wrath of my storm"
Instrumental:
A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm DmDm

A minorAm D7sus2
John crashed in with his pistol crying
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
In the morning just before the dawn
A minorAm
He took out his knife
D7sus2
And he carved out the light
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
Of a future in the eyes of the Lord
A minorAm
Strung him up high
D7sus2
Silhouetted in the sky
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
Let the ravens pick him to the bone
A minorAm
When the law man came by
D7sus2
He turned down his eyes
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
Not to gaze upon the brother of John
Instrumental:
A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm DmDm

A minorAm D7sus2
The station platform was empty and quiet
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
As she waited for a man who'd never show
A minorAm D7sus2
When the noon day sun was high and cracking the ground
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
She felt a lump rise in her throat
A minorAm
John swept from behind
D7sus2
Put a gun on her side
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
Said, "Baby you were why I came home
A minorAm
I won't take your life
D7sus2
But I want to look into your eyes
DmDm C majorC C/BC/B
When you see I killed the man that you love"
