Intro - Am
[Am]I took her down to the riverside.
I asked her if she wanted to be my blushing bride.
[G]By her reaction I thought [F]we were meant to be, but she said,
[C]"No, [F]no no no no, [C]no."[F]
[Am]I pushed her in, so she would die.
I saw the trembling look of horror in her eyes.
[G]I watched her go down three times and [F]only come up twice and she said,
[C]"No, [F]no no no no, [C]no."[F]
[A#/G6]I ran through the trees, til I [Am]fell down on my knees,
and I [Dm]criiiii[A#/G6]iiied, to m[F]yseee[E7/B]eelf...
[Am]I went back home to get my gun.
I knew right then I'd have to live life on the run.
[G]I hear those hound dogs barking, [F]chasing after me and I said,
[C]"No, [F]no no no no, [C]no."[F]

[A#/G6]I ran through the trees til I [Am]fell down on my knees,
and I [Dm]criiiii[A#/G6]iiied, to m[F]yseee[E7/B]eelf...
[Am]I can hear them closing in. A pe[D7]nitentiary, don't sound [F]good to me.
So I'll [D7]take my life, like I [F]took my wife.
It's the [D7]last you'll hear of [G]me,
that's the [D7]way it's gotta [G]be.
So I'll [D7]say goodbye to the world that wasn't meant for [G]me.
