F A#/F
my dear Helen it's been a while since we've talked.
D5 G5
Charlie and I haven't been up to a whole lot.
A#/F A#5
he's slowing down a little and my knee's acting up,
A# Gm/F
yeah we're quite a pair of geezers moving slower than molasses.
A#/F C/G
you'd be laughing if you saw us, you always loved to tease.
F A#/F
I dug up an old bottle of your raspberry wine,
D5 G5
so I'm slouched out on the porch-swing just taking my time.
A#/F A#5
my mind keeps turning out these pictures of you,
A# Gm/F
you were dancing in the kitchen and I was enjoying my view.
A#/F C/G
oh Charlie was squirming just two steps behind you.
F A#/F
my dear Helen do you remember when you said
D5 G5
that you'd be waiting at the gates so you could sneak me in?
A#/F A#5
well it sure was funny but it still caught in my throat,
A# Gm/F
and when I think about it now, it still makes me choke.
A#/F C/G
and I wonder if those gates would ever open up for me.
F A#/F
Helen my dear, I do have something to tell.
D5 G5
I don't know how to start so I guess I just will.
A#/F A#5
see, these nights have been hot, it's that muggy sort of air.
A# Gm/F
doesn't let me get to sleep so I usually just lie there
A#/F C/G
on top of my quilt with Charlie by my feet.
F A#/F
last night as I laid there frustrated and tired,
D5 G5
I was sat up in my bed by the hens starting wild.
A#/F A#5
I thought, 'that fox is back again, he's gonna rob me blind.
A# Gm/F
I don't know how he gets in but I'd better make him fly'.
A#/F C/G
so I took my leaning rifle out the door.
F A#/F
I fired off a shot aiming far into the heat.
D5 G5
and as soon as it was flying I felt weak in my knees.
A#/F A#5
I heard shoes turning gravel and then tires spitting rocks.
A# Gm/F
I heard a gasp for air and my stomach tied in knots.
A#/F A#5
Charlie started whining with his tail between his legs.
A# Gm/F
we wandered out slow but my heart was breakin' ribs.
A#/F A#5
I couldn't hear nothing and there was a girl lying twisted,
A# Gm/F
my hands were trembling and I felt that she was limp.
A#/F A#5
her pulse wasn't tapping so I felt sick to my stomach.
A# Gm/F
Charlie was frozen, so I went for a shovel
A#/F A#5
and I buried her body, I didn't know what else to do.
A# Gm/F
if I'd only aimed a little higher if I'd only thought before I fired.
A#/F A#5
I hope God can forgive me, I hope you forgive me too,
A# Gm/F
I'm just a tired old man just waiting to join you.
A#/F A#5
so here I am slouched on this old porch swing,
A# Gm/F
thinking about heaven, thinking about everything.
A#/F A#5
so be waiting by those gates, you might need to sneak me in,
A# Gm/F
I don't know how they feel about us accidental killers.
A#/F A#5
I don't know how they feel about us tired old men.
A# Gm/F
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
A#/F A#5
A# Gm/F
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
