Botched Execution by Shovels & Rope

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
Chord diagramA minorAm

Verse:
Chord diagramA minorAm
They botched my execution back in 1996
     Chord diagramDmDm
I climbed out of a window and I hopped over the fence
    Chord diagramA minorAm
Had to dig myself a tunnel, put my feet on the cement
      Chord diagramE minorEm
And started running, running, running, ain't nobody seen me since
       Chord diagramA minorAm
And now I've got to find a friend, someone to tell I didn't do it
      Chord diagramDmDm
But now my picture's in the paper, there's no way that I can prove it
    Chord diagramA minorAm
And the body's in the closet 'cause I never got to move it
    Chord diagramE MajorE
Now the neighbor kids are talking, saying, "Everybody knew it"

Chorus:
Chord diagramA minorAm
Ah ah
Chord diagramDmDm
Ah ah
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramE MajorE
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Chord diagramA minorAm
Ah ah
Chord diagramDmDm
Ah ah
Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramE MajorE
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
  Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramFF
Ah-ah ah-ah
  Chord diagramA minorAm
...Oh

Verse 2:
Chord diagramA minorAm
Leave a trail of crumbs, a lure for them to bite on
Chord diagramDmDm
In a Motel 6, thank God nobody left the light on
Chord diagramA minorAm
Dressed myself in women's clothing and a wig that I had tried on
     Chord diagramE MajorE
Tried to cleanse myself of all those alibis I'd relied on
Chord diagramA minorAm
And now I'm lying on my back, looking at the ceiling
   Chord diagramDmDm
When suddenly I am distracted by that old familiar feeling
     Chord diagramA minorAm
With the table and the devil and the cards that he was dealing
   Chord diagramE MajorE
I was sure enough a slave and some poor soul I would be stealing tonight

Chorus:
Chord diagramA minorAm
Ah ah
Chord diagramDmDm
Ah ah
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramE MajorE
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Chord diagramA minorAm
Ah ah
Chord diagramDmDm
Ah ah
Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramE MajorE
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
  Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramFF
Ah-ah ah-ah
  Chord diagramA minorAm
...Oh

Verse 3:
   Chord diagramA minorAm
Well, hitched my skirt, climbed up the car on the railroad
Chord diagramDmDm
Found myself a-gazing down the barrel at a crossroad
Chord diagramA minorAm
Hide out in the circus, rob a bank, hit the payload
  Chord diagramE MajorE
Or wait out in the darkness with the freaks and kinda lay low
 Chord diagramA minorAm
Chord diagramA augmentedA storm had downed a power line, laying on the trainway
Chord diagramDmDm
Standing in a puddle, felt a shock and in a ditch lay
Chord diagramA minorAm
In my final moments I could hear the lucky judge say
     Chord diagramE MajorE
"Well, I guess the execution went as scheduled anyway"

Chorus:
Chord diagramA minorAm
Ah ah
Chord diagramDmDm
Ah ah
Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramE MajorE
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Chord diagramA minorAm
Ah ah
Chord diagramDmDm
Ah ah
Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramE MajorE
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
  Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramFF
Ah-ah ah-ah
  Chord diagramA minorAm
