[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)
my [Am]heart is pounding my fists are tight, full moon shinin on the dead of the night
I [F]tried to remember somethin jesus said, the words of the devil rang through instead
he said [C]burn that woman dig a hole for the clown, my head is spinnin like a merry go round
i c[G]an'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
and [G]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] ...
