Intro - A minorAm
A minorAm
I took her down to the riverside.
I asked her if she wanted to be my blushing bride.
G+G FF
By her reaction I thought we were meant to be, but she said,
C majorC FF C majorC FF
"No, no no no no, no."
A minorAm
I pushed her in, so she would die.
I saw the trembling look of horror in her eyes.
G+G FF
I watched her go down three times and only come up twice and she said,
C majorC FF C majorC FF
"No, no no no no, no."
A#/G6 A minorAm
I ran through the trees, til I fell down on my knees,
DmDm A#/G6 FF E7/BE7/B
and I criiiiiiiied, to myseeeeelf...
A minorAm
I went back home to get my gun.
I knew right then I'd have to live life on the run.
G+G FF
I hear those hound dogs barking, chasing after me and I said,
C majorC FF C majorC FF
"No, no no no no, no."
