Chords with lyrics

verse 1
E MajorE  BB   G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m
6 6 6 sixteen-year-old kids
E MajorE          BB
huddled around the grocery lot
  E MajorE       BB      G# minorG#m        C# minorC#m
"He punched out my teeth" so you said, so did the evidence
  E MajorE       BB      C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
The blood and the dent on the car door from your head


verse 2
  E MajorE
And this is where I bring you
   BB            A augmentedA
With every laurel I've hung from your neck
    E MajorE
It will be the noose that hangs you
      E MajorE
Yes it will be the noose that hangs you

Pre-Chorus
      BB          G# minorG#m
Cause I was lonely here and its lonely still
    C# minorC#m            E MajorE
In the rugged country where the weeds grow fierce
    BB          G# minorG#m
Quicker than the crop I keep running from
    C# minorC#m
In this rugged country


Chorus
     E MajorE
I'm the rugged one
     BB
I'm the rugged one
     G# minorG#m
I'm the rugged one
     C# minorC#m
I'm the rugged one


verse 3
 E MajorE
And this is where we lost you
    BB        A augmentedA
Despite every effort to bring you back
     E MajorE
Yeah, the hopes the one that haunts you
    BB               A augmentedA
And the home's the rope thats wrapped around your neck
      E MajorE
And it will be the noose that hangs you
      E MajorE
Yes it will be the noose that hangs you


Pre-Chorus
      BB         G# minorG#m
And it's a heavy hand where I wear your death
   C# minorC#m         E MajorE
As a wedding ring in the rugged country
    BB         G# minorG#m
I tend to your man in the home you had
   C# minorC#m
Oh in this rugged country


Chorus
     E MajorE
I'm the rugged one
     BB
I'm the rugged one
     G# minorG#m
I'm the rugged one
     C# minorC#m      E MajorE
I'm the rugged one
