Key: 'Cm' Intro: Am G Am Am G Am G Am Father John was a filthy man but he loved his God G Am Sitting by his window late last night he sang a song C G E7 Am About the ways he put them wicked ones away G Am And on the other side of the mountains where they lay G Am On the other side of the mountains where they'll stay G Am Rumours on the street well, I hear they're coming true G Am That filthy man he caught 'em put 'em on a noose C G E7 Am 'Cause every word he said the people ate out of his hand G Am With just one crying word you could be dead G Am With just one crying word you could be dead
