verse 1:
E minorEm            E minorEm          A minorAm E minorEm             E minorEm   A minorAm
Peik had only one good eye   and a troubled mind
E minorEm                    E minorEm               A minorAm  E minorEm              E minorEm   A minorAm
He lost the other eye fighting the sheriff in the jail one night
E minorEm                    E minorEm          A minorAm  E minorEm             E minorEm     A minorAm
Homeless for the past fourty years,   carried all he owned
E minorEm                           E minorEm         A minorAm E minorEm                 E minorEm A minorAm
How he made it through those winter nights I guess I’ll never know


pre-chorus:
C majorC                    D MajorD              E minorEm           G+G
When they found that poor young girl dead in the woods
   C majorC               D MajorD                E minorEm                       G+G
It didn’t take too long before poor Peik had his neck in the noose
C majorC             D MajorD
It was on the news


chorus:
G+G                   D MajorD
Crowd was standing, Peik was on the landing
E minorEm                C majorC                  G+G         D MajorD               E minorEm
Took the dive one minute to midnight Oh it’s a shame about old Peik
G+G                    D MajorD
When the light died    in his one eye
E minorEm                 C majorC
Couldn’t shake the feeling it wasn’t right
G+G         D MajorD               E minorEm
Oh it’s a shame about old Peik

4x | E minorEm          | E minorEm       A minorAm |
   | 1  2  3  4  | 1  2  3  4  |

verse 2:
E minorEm                       E minorEm          A minorAm   E minorEm               E minorEm   A minorAm
The girl she came from a foreign country, she was pale and fair
E minorEm             E minorEm          A minorAm   E minorEm             E minorEm   A minorAm
Everybody just loved her accent and her frizzy hair
E minorEm                  E minorEm        A minorAm  E minorEm             E minorEm   A minorAm
Peik was seen maybe once or twice following her around
E minorEm                   E minorEm         A minorAm E minorEm                E minorEm   A minorAm
But she always *just smiled at him and never put him down


pre-chorus:
C majorC                   D MajorD              E minorEm          G+G
When they found her body laying in the shallow grave
C majorC                     D MajorD                  E minorEm                 G+G
Seemed right then and there they knew on who they’d pin the blame
C majorC              D MajorD
And a plan was made


chorus:
G+G                   D MajorD
Crowd was standing, Peik was on the landing
E minorEm                C majorC                  G+G         D MajorD               E minorEm
Took the dive one minute to midnight Oh it’s a shame about old Peik
G+G                  D MajorD
When the light died in his one eye
E minorEm                 C majorC
Couldn’t shake the feeling it wasn’t right
G+G         D MajorD               E minorEm
Oh it’s a shame about old Peik


solo:
G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  E minorEm


outro:
A minorAm          D MajorD           E minorEm                    G+G
The morning paper had a whole page picture of Peik
    A minorAm             D MajorD               G+G              E minorEm
The mayor said the sheriff was the one to congratulate
A minorAm              D MajorD               G+G          E minorEm
The Main Street ladies all went out to celebrate
A minorAm           D MajorD                   G+G        E minorEm
But a guilty conscience kept the sheriff awake
C majorC         D MajorD               G+G
Oh it’s a shame about old Peik
