B E/B
my dear Helen it's been a while since we've talked.
G#5 C#5
Charlie and I haven't been up to a whole lot.
E/B E5
he's slowing down a little and my knee's acting up,
E C#m/B
yeah we're quite a pair of geezers moving slower than molasses.
E/B F#/C#
you'd be laughing if you saw us, you always loved to tease.
B E/B
I dug up an old bottle of your raspberry wine,
G#5 C#5
so I'm slouched out on the porch-swing just taking my time.
E/B E5
my mind keeps turning out these pictures of you,
E C#m/B
you were dancing in the kitchen and I was enjoying my view.
E/B F#/C#
oh Charlie was squirming just two steps behind you.
B E/B
my dear Helen do you remember when you said
G#5 C#5
that you'd be waiting at the gates so you could sneak me in?
E/B E5
well it sure was funny but it still caught in my throat,
E C#m/B
and when I think about it now, it still makes me choke.
E/B F#/C#
and I wonder if those gates would ever open up for me.
B E/B
Helen my dear, I do have something to tell.
G#5 C#5
I don't know how to start so I guess I just will.
E/B E5
see, these nights have been hot, it's that muggy sort of air.
E C#m/B
doesn't let me get to sleep so I usually just lie there
E/B F#/C#
on top of my quilt with Charlie by my feet.
B E/B
last night as I laid there frustrated and tired,
G#5 C#5
I was sat up in my bed by the hens starting wild.
E/B E5
I thought, 'that fox is back again, he's gonna rob me blind.
E C#m/B
I don't know how he gets in but I'd better make him fly'.
E/B F#/C#
so I took my leaning rifle out the door.
B E/B
I fired off a shot aiming far into the heat.
G#5 C#5
and as soon as it was flying I felt weak in my knees.
E/B E5
I heard shoes turning gravel and then tires spitting rocks.
E C#m/B
I heard a gasp for air and my stomach tied in knots.
E/B E5
Charlie started whining with his tail between his legs.
E C#m/B
we wandered out slow but my heart was breakin' ribs.
E/B E5
I couldn't hear nothing and there was a girl lying twisted,
E C#m/B
my hands were trembling and I felt that she was limp.
E/B E5
her pulse wasn't tapping so I felt sick to my stomach.
E C#m/B
Charlie was frozen, so I went for a shovel
E/B E5
and I buried her body, I didn't know what else to do.
E C#m/B
if I'd only aimed a little higher if I'd only thought before I fired.
E/B E5
I hope God can forgive me, I hope you forgive me too,
E C#m/B
I'm just a tired old man just waiting to join you.
E/B E5
so here I am slouched on this old porch swing,
E C#m/B
thinking about heaven, thinking about everything.
E/B E5
so be waiting by those gates, you might need to sneak me in,
E C#m/B
I don't know how they feel about us accidental killers.
E/B E5
I don't know how they feel about us tired old men.
E C#m/B
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
E/B E5
E C#m/B
I don't know how they feel about us tired, old, murdering men.
