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

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

Instrumental:
Am  Am  Am  Dm

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

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