Looking Back Now

Am C G   Am C G

[Verse]
    Am
He smelled like gin with a hint of 
her
C
Up 'til then I wasn't sure
      G                          
But he swaggered by and said "The 
                       D .....
boys said to tell you hi"
          Am
And I was kicked back in his easy 
chair
C
Holding a fifth tapping the barrel 
of a
  G                                
fresh cleaned steel blue polished 
    D
up .38
F
And I was kind of hoping he'd at 
least look scared
But all he said was "Okay, she was 
good,,, and you don't dare"

[Chorus]
C                  G     
Looking back now I probably 
                     Am  F
should've let him ride
C            G                 Am F
Paybacks are hell where I come from
        C
And any fool should know
          G                   Am
You don't look a woman in the eye 
and smile
     F                     D
When she knows what you've done
          F
And she's holding whiskey and a gun

         Am
Well the sun shines gray in the 
prison yard
C
Life to go was going hard
          G                     
When the warden started, getting 
          D
sweet on me
       Am
And he drug me to his room one night
    C
poured me some sweet, gave me a 
light
    G                              
And I smoked slow and waited 'til 
       D
he was done
    F
And I thought that was that 'til he 
got rough and I fought back
And when I grabbed his pistol he 
laughed and said
"Girl you ain't got the guts"

[Chorus]
C                  G     
Looking back now I probably 
                      Am  F
should've let him ride
C            G                   
Paybacks are hell where I come 
Am F
from
        C
And any fool should know
          G                   Am
You don't look a woman in the eye 
and smile
                            D
When she knows what you've done
          F
And she's holding whiskey and a gun

[Hook]
C         G          Am   F    
da dada dada dada da da  
        C
Whiskey and a gun
C         G          Am   F
da dada dada dada da da

[Verse]
        Am
They're strapping me down and I'm 
scared to die
      C
Now I ain't the kind of girl to cry
      G                          
But I find myself begging God for 
   D ...
mercy
   Am
My hands are cold as I start to slip
C
Sodium theopenthol drips
    G                              
The room goes black and I wonder if
     D ........
 He heard me

[Chorus]
(Arpeg to second Am then resume)
C                  G     
Looking back now I probably 
                       Am  F
should've let him ride
C                  G             
I bet paybacks are hell where 
    Am!    F F F F
I'm,   go ooo oing
        C
And any fool should know
          G                   Am
You don't look a woman in the eye 
and smile
     F                     D
When she knows what you've done
          F                        
And she's hold'''ing whiskey and a 
 C
gun
C        G        Am     F     
da dada dada dada da    Whiskey
        C

C        G        Am   F
