Dead In A Box In Kentucky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]They found him dead in a
box in [G]Kentucky[D]
Over the Heart County [G]line
[D]Said he was running from [G]something
[A]I think he ran out of time
He was [D]stripped of all his
posses[G]sions
[D]That's what the sheriff had to say
[G]He was gun[D]ned down cold
on the [G]side of the road
[A]Ain't found a killer to [D]this day[G][D]
Billy was a smile [G]type, gamblin' [D]man
Sarah Beth was [A]his wife
But he [D]spent his time
in the arms
of another [G]man's woman
[D]A woman by t[A]he name
of Stormy [D]Knight
Stormy was a dancer
in [G]a little club downtown
[D]Where she used to work
most [A]every night
When [D]she wasn't dancin'
they all [G]say you could find her
Parked with Billy
[D]ben[A]eath the street corner lig[D]ht
And they found him dead
in a box in Kentuck[G]y
[D]Over the Heart County lin[G]e
[D]Said he was runnin' from [G]somethin'
[A]I think he ran out of time
He was [D]stripped of all his
posses[G]sions
[D]That's what the sheriff had [G]to say
He was [D]gunned down cold
on the [G]side of the road
[A]I ain't found a killer to
[D]this day[G][D]
[G][D][G][A]
[D]
Billy Wood
Nuthin', [G]poor white trash,
[D]38 swi[A]tchblade knife
[D]If you ever crossed here,
you'd [G]en d up like Sarah Beth
[D]Broken bones [A]and fear for your [D]life
When I lay in bed at night,
[G]I still hear the s[D]creams
Cerebeth in my [A]mind
[D]The son of that gamblin' man
[G]Made mama promise
One [D]day Billy [A]paid with his [D]life
And they found him dead in
a box in Kentuck[G]y
[D]Over the Hawke County [G]line
[D]They said he was runnin' from [G]somethin'
[A]I think he ran out of time
And [D]he was stripped of all
his posses[G]sions
[D]That's what the sheriff had to say
[G]And he was gun[D]ned down cold
on the [G]side of the road
[A]Ain't found a killer to this [D]day
Yeah, he was gunned down cold
on the [G]side of the road
[A]I ain't found a killer to this d[D]ay
[A]I ain't found a killer to this d[D]ay
[A]I ain't found me yet to this d[D]ay
