A minorAm
Henrietta, Indiana mill town
     C/GC/G
Locked the factory down and shut it up tight
   G+G
My daddy and my brother and sixteen-hundred others
   FF
Lost everything they had in the night
A minorAm
Daddy got a taste for the hard stuff
 C/GC/G
Henrietta, Indiana was dry
  G+G
We'd ride out to Putney, he'd tell me that he loved me
  FF
The drive home was always so quiet

           DmDm  G+G
He had a devil in his eye, eye
   A minorAm
Like a thorn in the paw
Am/GAm/G
Disregard for the law
FF
Disappointment to the Lord on high

  A minorAm
My brother practiced preaching in the basement
      C/GC/G
Perspiration on his face 'til I knew
   G+G
That something was missing

His spirit was willing
  FF
He could not believe it was true
A minorAm
"Blessed be the poor," he said
 C/GC/G
"Your treasure is on high."
  G+G
All of Henrietta, Indiana heard me hallelujah
   FF
When I finally saw the devil in his eye
           DmDm  G+G
I saw a devil in his eye, eye
   A minorAm
Like a thorn in the paw
Am/GAm/G
Disregard for the law
FF
Disappointment to the lord on high

  C/GC/G
I was coming home late from midnight to eight
   G+G
The radio said they'd ID'd the plates
   A minorAm
Left three men dead, made their escape
  FF
By now said the sheriff, they'll be in the next state
    C/GC/G
Will we be able to catch them? Can they bring the dogs in?
   G+G
Can they call up the Bureau? Do they have next-of-kin?
    A minorAm
Cameras came to my door and I opened it wide
   FF                      A minorAm  C/GC/G  G+G  FF
They thought I was crying, it was something in my eye, eye, eye,
A minorAm  C/GC/G  G+G  FF
eye, eye, eye, oh
A minorAm  C/GC/G  G+G  FF  A minorAm  C/GC/G  G+G  FF

  A minorAm
At night I leave a bottle on the table
     C/GC/G
The Bible open to the Sermon on the Mount
   G+G
Blessed be the poor of Henrietta, Indiana
  FF
But happy are the ones that get out
  A minorAm
I think I'll drive over to Putney
 C/GC/G
The store'll be open to twelve
  G+G
The empty parking lot, the lights, the lonely kid, the register
  FF
I see it all clear as a bell
          DmDm  G+G
I got a devil in my eye, eye
 A minorAm
Like a thorn in the paw
Am/GAm/G
Disregard for the law
FF
Disappointment to the Lord on high
A minorAm  G+G
Eye, eye
FF
Like a thorn in the paw
FF
Disregard for the law
FF               A minorAm Am/GAm/G Am/F A minorAm
Disappointment to the Lord on high
