Botched Execution chords by Shovels & Rope

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Am

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

Chorus:
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                        C      E
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                      C     E
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
   Am    F
Ah-ah ah-ah
   Am
...Oh

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

Chorus:
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                        C      E
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                      C     E
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
   Am    F
Ah-ah ah-ah
   Am
...Oh

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

Chorus:
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                        C      E
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                      C     E
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
   Am    F
Ah-ah ah-ah
   Am
