He bought a [F]shotgun[C]
'Cause he was in the mood
For a little [F]confrontation[C]

He didn't [F]think about the noose
He couldn't [G]take no more a[F]buse
So he shot down the congre[C]gation[F][C]

Now, [C]Big Jim the chief
Stood for law and [F]order[C]

Came the [G]cry, "We got to ride
To [F]clean up the streets
For our wives and our [C]daughters"

The ac[C]count of the capture
Wasn't in the [F]papers[C]
But you know,
they hanged ol' Smack right then
[F]Instead of lat[C]er[F][C]
You know, the people were quite pleased
'Cause the [F]outlaw had been seized
And on the [G]whole, it was a [F]very good year
For the under[C]taker
