Guilty As Can Be

D

  D
Once I had me a woman
Everything was goin' my way
She thought I had hung the moon
         A
And she had an angel's face
D
Til' one night I pulled in my drive
       G          F      D
And somethin' was goin' on
D
There was a long bed Ford in my spot
    A                      D
That I damn sure didn't own
I walked up to the screen door
And I heard this awful noise
                                   A
I moved on to the living room and there sat my two boys
 D
I said "Where's mama?"
                               G           F
And they both pointed to the bedroom down the hall
    D
Now, I ain't ever been a fightin' man
   A                  D
But red was all I saw

 D
See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out
    G       F        D
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
      A
Then get knocked off your heels
     D
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand
           G         F
Just what she meant to me
 D                                     A
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
          G             F              D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be

D
Well I wish I had me a picture of what his face looked like
                                      A
When I kicked in my bedroom door and raised my 45
D                                          G
I said ain't the kind to hurt a woman and I
       F
hope you understand
    D
But somebody's got to die today
A                                 D
Son, it looks like you're the man

 D
See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out
    G      F        D
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
     A
Then get knocked off your heels
    D
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand
           G
Just what she meant to me
D                                      A
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
           G              F            D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be
D A G F D

D
That's what I told that jury
That's what I told that judge
                                  A
And I knew there'd be hell to pay if I fulfilled my grudge
D                                    G
See I don't mind these prison bars tucked off
      F
in these pine trees
D
One thing about that cheatin' woman
            A              D
She won't cheat again on me

D
See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out
    G       F         D
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
      A
Then get knocked off your heels
    D
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand
           G         F
Just what she meant to me

Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
           G             F              D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be
 D                             D
I said if murderin' a man who didn't understand
           G         F
Just what she meant to me
D                                       A
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity
            G             F             D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be
