He said “I’m your best friend

But your young bride ain’t home to-night.

Since you been gone
-6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6

5 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 6 6
Now he got mad and he saw red.

An-dy said “boy don’tcha lose your head,

That’s the night

that they hung an in-no-cent man.
6 7 -8 -8 -8

Well don’t trust your soul

4 -4 5 5 5 -4 4 2
to no back-woods sou-thern law-yer.
-6 7 -8 -8 7 -8

Cause the judge in the town’s
7 8 7 7 -6 7
4 5 4 4 -3 4

Well, (Change to Key of Eb)
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 6 6
An-dy got scared and left the bar.
6 7 8 8 8 8 8 -9 -8 -8 -8
An’ walk-in’ on home ’cause he did-n’t live far;
-8 -8 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
you see An-dy did-n’t have ma-ny friends,
-7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6
and he’d just lost him one.
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 6 6 6
Bro-ther thought his wife must-‘ve left town,
6 7 8 8 8 -9 -8 -8 -8 -8
so he went on home and fin-al-ly found
7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7 -7
the on-ly thing Dad-dy left him
-7 -7 -6 6 -6
and that was a gun.
-6 -6 -6 -6 -7 6 6
He went off to An-dy’s house,
7 8 8 8 8 -10
slip-pin’ through the back-woods
-9 -8 -8 -8 8
qui-et as a mouse.
7 7 7 7 -6
Came up-on some tracks
-7 -7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6
too small for An-dy to make.
5 -6 -6 -6 -6
He looked through the screen
-6 -6 -7 6 6
at the back porch door
6 7 8 8 8 -9 -8 -8 -8 -8
an’ he saw An-dy ly-in’ on the floor
-8-7 7 7 7 7
in a pud-dle of blood
-7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6
and he start-ed to shake.
8
The (start key of “G”)
-6 -9 -9 -9 -9 8 9 9 9 9
Geor-gia pa-trol was a mak-in’ their rounds
8 7 8 8 8 8 7 8 8 7
so he fired a shot just to flag ’em down.
-7 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 8 -9
A big bel-lied sher-iff grabbed his gun
8 9 -9 8 8 8
and said “Why’d you do it?”

The (back to Eb)
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 6 6 6
judge said “guil-ty” in a make be-lieve trial.
7 8 8 8 -8 8 -9 -8 -8 -8
Slapped the sher-iff on the back with a smile
-8 -8 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
and said “Sup-per’s wait-in’ at home
-7 -7 -7 -6 6 6 -6
and I got to get to it”.
Chorus (change to key of “G”)
Verse 3:
5 5 -6 -6 -6 -6
Well they hung my bro-ther
-6 -7 6 6 6
be-fore I could say
6 7 8 8
the tracks he saw
-10 -9 -8 -8 -8 7 7 7
while on his way to An-dy’s house
-7-6 -7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6
and back that night were mine.
5 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 6 6 6
And his cheat-in’ wife had ne-ver left town,
6 7 8 8 8 -8 8 -9 -8 -8 -8
and that’s one bo-dy that-‘ll ne-ver be found
-8 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -7
cause lit-tle sis-ter don’t miss
-7 -7 -6 6 -6
when she aims her gun.
