[Intro]
Em (With Riff 1 thrown in at the end.)
[Verse 1]
Em G A
I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds
G F#m Em
To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes
Em G A
Stories of corruption, crime and killing, yes it's true
G F#m Em
Greed and fixed elections, guns and drugs and whores and booze
[Verse 2]
Em G A
It's been a while since I put on a suit of my own clothes
G F#m Em
And even longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door
Em G A
They say every sin is deadly, but I believe they may be wrong
G F#m Em
I'm guilty of all seven, and I don't feel too bad at all
[Chorus 1]
Em G A
I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit
G F#m Em
I had a .45 underneath my coat, and another one in my boot
Em G A
I drove a big ole Cadillac, bought a new one anytime I pleased
G F#m Em
And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseed
[Verse 3]
Em G A
I spent a few years on vacation, sanctioned by the state I mentioned
G F#m Em
But see, a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from
Em G A
The meanest of the mean you see, you lock away and toss the key
G F#m Em
But they're just loud mouth punks to me, I've scraped meaner off my shoe
[Verse 4]
Em G A
Somewhere, I ain't saying, there's a hole that holds a judge
G F#m Em
The last one that I dug myself, and I must admit I was
Em G A
Sad to lay him in it, but I did the best I could
G F#m Em
Once his Honor grows a conscience, well folks, that there just ain't no good
[Verse 5]
Em G A
There's a pretty girl out there said, "Daddy, you stay cool tonight
G F#m Em
All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side
Em G Asus2
Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths
G F#m Em
If they was to tie a noose, they'd have to lay their Bibles down
[Instrumental]
Em G A G F#m Em
Em G Asus2 G F#m Em (or riff 2)
[Verse 6]
Em G A
I ain't here to save no souls, and even if I could
G F#m Em
I could never save enough to put back half the ones I took
Em G A
So if they rest in torment, you can't say it's cause of me
G F#m Em
They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee
[Chorus 2]
Em G A
I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit
G F#m Em
I had a .45 underneath my coat, and another one in my boot
Em G A
I drove a big ole Cadillac, bought a new one anytime I pleased
G F#m Em
And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseed
[Verse 7]
Em G A
There's a pretty girl out there said, "Daddy, you stay cool tonight
G F#m Em
All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side
Em G Asus2
Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths
G F#m Em
If they was to tie a noose, they'd have to lay their Bibles down
