Verse
A# Ab
She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars
Gm C7
She ain’t got time for the evening stars
A# F A#
She gets up at five every morning
A# Ab
She’s got a bucket in her hand
Gm C7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land
A# F A# A#7
Always brings a smile to that pretty face
[Chorus]
D# Dm Dm7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
G7 C7 F F7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
D# Dm Dm7
She’s gonna make you scream blue thunder
D# D# D# A#
That girl will surely put you down
[Verse 2]
A# Ab
In the village, into the church
Gm C7
Calls a priest and from her curse
A# F A#
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed
A# Ab
They close their doors, they close the blinds
Gm C7
As she makes her way to Clementine’s
A# F A# A#7
We’re the only place that serves her here
[Chorus]
D# Dm Dm7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
G7 C7 F F7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
D# Dm Dm7
Somehow I cannot help but wonder
D# D# D# A#
When she is gonna put me down
