Capo 1
That old [F]grape vine sure comes alive
In a [Am]small town[G] when someones runnin' round
When they [F]shouldn't be
That motel ain't a [Am]no tell, [G]motel
The [F]gossip mill keeps turning till
It [Am]finally hits the [G]wrong ears
And the [F]tears spill and the heart breaks
And that was [F]more than I could take
Chorus
And the [C]front page showed it in black and white
The [C/B]bed of my truck hanging out the side
Of that [Am]dirty run down room off of [F]highway 22
Drove my [C]bumper slam up to the bed
Put my [C/B]45 against his head
And before I [Am]dropped that hammer down
I said [F]you don't lay another man's woman down[A][G][F][A][G]
Well now I'm sittin' in a 6'x9'
They talkin' about taking my life
But I don't care 'cause wrong or right
I did what I had to do
Loving that girl was all I had
And it's the reason why I'm where I'm at
The 6th commandment was my sin
But they 7th one did him in
Chorus X2
