Guilty As Can Be

D

[Verse 1]
  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
I moved on to the living room and 
 A
there sat my two boys
 D
I said "Where's mama?"
                               G   
And they both pointed to the 
        F
bedroom down the hall
    D
Now, I ain't ever been a fightin' 
man
   A                  D
But red was all I saw


[Chorus]
 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                                 
Means I'll rot here in this cell 
    A
for eternity
          G             F         
Well then mister I'm as guilty as 
     D
can be


[Verse 2]
D
Well I wish I had me a picture of 
what his face looked like
When I kicked in my bedroom door and
  A
 raised my 45
D                             
I said ain't the kind to hurt a 
             G
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


[Chorus]
 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

Means I'll rot here in this cell 
     A

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                                 
See I don't mind these prison bars
   G
 tucked off
      F
in these pine trees
D
One thing about that cheatin' woman
            A              D
She won't cheat again on me


[Chorus]
D
See brother 'cause I've been down 
and I've been out

And I know how it feels
