[Intro 1]
[D][D][C][G]
[D][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Once I had me a woman
Everything was goin' my way
She thought I had hung the moon
and she [A]had an angel's face
Til' [D]one night I pulled in my drive
and somethin' was goin' [G]on
There was a [D]long bed Ford in my spot
that I [A]damn sure [F]didn't own
[D][D][C][G]

[Verse 2]
I [D]walked up to the screen door
and I heard this awful noise
I moved on to the living room
and [A]there sat my two boys
I [D]said "Where's mama?"
And they both pointed
to the bedroom down the [G]hall
Now, I ain't [D]ever been a fightin' man
but [A]red was all I [D]saw

[Chorus 1]
See brother 'cause [D]I've been down
and I've been out and [G]I know how it f[D]eels
To stand up for what you think is right
then [A]get knocked off your heels
And if [D]murderin' a man who didn't understand
just what she meant to [G]me
Means [D]I'll rot here in this cell for eterni[A]ty
Well then [G]mister I'm as [F]guilty as can be
[D][D][C][G]

[Verse 3]
Well I [D]wish I had me a picture
of what his face looked like
When I kicked in my bedroom door
and [A]raised my 45
I said [D]I ain't the kind to hurt a woman
and I hope you under[G]stand
[D]Somebody's got to die today
Son, it [A]looks like you're the [D]man

[Chorus 2]
See brother 'cause [D]I've been down
and I've been out and [G]I know how it f[D]eels
To stand up for what you think is right
then [A]get knocked off your heels
And if [D]murderin' a man who didn't understand
just what she meant to [G]me
Means [D]I'll rot here in this cell for eterni[A]ty
Well then [G]mister I'm as [F]guilty as can be

[Solo 1]
[D][G][D][C][A][G][F]
[D][D]

[Verse 4]
That's [D]what I told that jury
That's what I told that judge
And I knew there'd be hell to pay
if [A]I fulfilled my grudge
See [D]I don't mind these prison bars
tucked off in these pine [G]trees
But [D]one thing about that cheatin' woman
She [A]won't cheat again on [D]me

[Chorus 3]
See brother 'cause [D]I've been down
and I've been out and [G]I know how it f[D]eels
To stand up for what you think is right
then [A]get knocked off your heels
And if [D]murderin' a man who didn't understand
just what she meant to [G]me
Means [D]I'll rot here in this cell for eterni[A]ty
Well then [G]mister I'm as [F]guilty as can [D]be
I said if murderin' a man
who didn't understand
just what she [F]meant to [G]me
Means [D]I'll rot here in this cell for eterni[A]ty
Well then [G]mister I'm as [F]guilty as can be

[Outro 1]
[D]Yeah, go ahead and lock me up, boys
[C][G]
[D]I'm guilty anyways
[C][G][D]
