C F/C
my dear Helen it's been a while since we've talked.
A5 D5
Charlie and I haven't been up to a whole lot.
F/C F5
he's slowing down a little and my knee's acting up,
F Dm/C
yeah we're quite a pair of geezers moving slower than molasses.
F/C G/D
you'd be laughing if you saw us, you always loved to tease.
C F/C
I dug up an old bottle of your raspberry wine,
A5 D5
so I'm slouched out on the porch-swing just taking my time.
F/C F5
my mind keeps turning out these pictures of you,
F Dm/C
you were dancing in the kitchen and I was enjoying my view.
F/C G/D
oh Charlie was squirming just two steps behind you.
C F/C
my dear Helen do you remember when you said
A5 D5
that you'd be waiting at the gates so you could sneak me in?
F/C F5
well it sure was funny but it still caught in my throat,
F Dm/C
and when I think about it now, it still makes me choke.
F/C G/D
and I wonder if those gates would ever open up for me.
C F/C
Helen my dear, I do have something to tell.
A5 D5
I don't know how to start so I guess I just will.
F/C F5
see, these nights have been hot, it's that muggy sort of air.
F Dm/C
doesn't let me get to sleep so I usually just lie there
F/C G/D
on top of my quilt with Charlie by my feet.
C F/C
last night as I laid there frustrated and tired,
A5 D5
I was sat up in my bed by the hens starting wild.
F/C F5
I thought, 'that fox is back again, he's gonna rob me blind.
F Dm/C
I don't know how he gets in but I'd better make him fly'.
F/C G/D
so I took my leaning rifle out the door.
C F/C
I fired off a shot aiming far into the heat.
A5 D5
and as soon as it was flying I felt weak in my knees.
F/C F5
I heard shoes turning gravel and then tires spitting rocks.
F Dm/C
I heard a gasp for air and my stomach tied in knots.
F/C F5
Charlie started whining with his tail between his legs.
F Dm/C
we wandered out slow but my heart was breakin' ribs.
F/C F5
I couldn't hear nothing and there was a girl lying twisted,
F Dm/C
my hands were trembling and I felt that she was limp.
F/C F5
her pulse wasn't tapping so I felt sick to my stomach.
F Dm/C
Charlie was frozen, so I went for a shovel
F/C F5
and I buried her body, I didn't know what else to do.
F Dm/C
if I'd only aimed a little higher if I'd only thought before I fired.
F/C F5
I hope God can forgive me, I hope you forgive me too,
F Dm/C
I'm just a tired old man just waiting to join you.
F/C F5
so here I am slouched on this old porch swing,
F Dm/C
thinking about heaven, thinking about everything.
F/C F5
so be waiting by those gates, you might need to sneak me in,
F Dm/C
I don't know how they feel about us accidental killers.
F/C F5
I don't know how they feel about us tired old men.
F Dm/C
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
F/C F5
F Dm/C
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
