F# B/F#
my dear Helen it's been a while since we've talked.
D#5 G#5
Charlie and I haven't been up to a whole lot.
B/F# B5
he's slowing down a little and my knee's acting up,
B G#m/F#
yeah we're quite a pair of geezers moving slower than molasses.
B/F# C#/G#
you'd be laughing if you saw us, you always loved to tease.
F# B/F#
I dug up an old bottle of your raspberry wine,
D#5 G#5
so I'm slouched out on the porch-swing just taking my time.
B/F# B5
my mind keeps turning out these pictures of you,
B G#m/F#
you were dancing in the kitchen and I was enjoying my view.
B/F# C#/G#
oh Charlie was squirming just two steps behind you.
F# B/F#
my dear Helen do you remember when you said
D#5 G#5
that you'd be waiting at the gates so you could sneak me in?
B/F# B5
well it sure was funny but it still caught in my throat,
B G#m/F#
and when I think about it now, it still makes me choke.
B/F# C#/G#
and I wonder if those gates would ever open up for me.
F# B/F#
Helen my dear, I do have something to tell.
D#5 G#5
I don't know how to start so I guess I just will.
B/F# B5
see, these nights have been hot, it's that muggy sort of air.
B G#m/F#
doesn't let me get to sleep so I usually just lie there
B/F# C#/G#
on top of my quilt with Charlie by my feet.
F# B/F#
last night as I laid there frustrated and tired,
D#5 G#5
I was sat up in my bed by the hens starting wild.
B/F# B5
I thought, 'that fox is back again, he's gonna rob me blind.
B G#m/F#
I don't know how he gets in but I'd better make him fly'.
B/F# C#/G#
so I took my leaning rifle out the door.
F# B/F#
I fired off a shot aiming far into the heat.
D#5 G#5
and as soon as it was flying I felt weak in my knees.
B/F# B5
I heard shoes turning gravel and then tires spitting rocks.
B G#m/F#
I heard a gasp for air and my stomach tied in knots.
B/F# B5
Charlie started whining with his tail between his legs.
B G#m/F#
we wandered out slow but my heart was breakin' ribs.
B/F# B5
I couldn't hear nothing and there was a girl lying twisted,
B G#m/F#
my hands were trembling and I felt that she was limp.
B/F# B5
her pulse wasn't tapping so I felt sick to my stomach.
B G#m/F#
Charlie was frozen, so I went for a shovel
B/F# B5
and I buried her body, I didn't know what else to do.
B G#m/F#
if I'd only aimed a little higher if I'd only thought before I fired.
B/F# B5
I hope God can forgive me, I hope you forgive me too,
B G#m/F#
I'm just a tired old man just waiting to join you.
B/F# B5
so here I am slouched on this old porch swing,
B G#m/F#
thinking about heaven, thinking about everything.
B/F# B5
so be waiting by those gates, you might need to sneak me in,
B G#m/F#
I don't know how they feel about us accidental killers.
B/F# B5
I don't know how they feel about us tired old men.
B G#m/F#
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
B/F# B5
B G#m/F#
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
