Am
 I woke up this mornin in a ditch again, I swear that womans the devil's kin
F
 I went back home to get my stuff, what I came to find was proof enough
C
 I seen her lying with the boy next door, I always knew she was a two bit whore
G
     ...I still loved her

Am
 I grabbed my duffel and some stuff from the back, and I went outside to the old spruce shack
F
 grabbed my rifle and some gasoline, I never thought I'd get that mean
C
 if she'd only listened to what I said, there'd be no one missin and no one dead
G
     ...and I mean it

CHORUS (faster pace)
    Am
 my heart is pounding my fists are tight, full moon shinin on the dead of the night
   F
 I tried to remember somethin jesus said, the words of the devil rang through instead
         C
 he said burn that woman dig a hole for the clown, my head is spinnin like a merry go round
    G
 i can't stop it

fiddle solo (same chords)

(back to slow pace)
Am
 I done just as the devil said, I done it all without regret
F
 I knew I should be feeling bad, I'll tell you flat out she made me mad
C
 I still got her name tattooed across my calf, I think about her while looking back
     G
 and think  ...I miss her

Am
 now I listen to the words that the good lord says, on church on sunday with my new girlfriend
F
 she don't know about my past, I don't tell  she don't ask
C
 somehow I've come to understand that the good lord has a master plan
G
     ...and I believe him

CHORUS

fiddle solo

Am
 well that's how it went down on that cold october night
F
 you know you cant always judge a person by how they look on the outside
C
 everybodies got a story... that could make you weep
G
 ...
