Butcher Pete Part 1

Ab
Hey everybody, did the news get 
around
        Ab
About a guy named Butcher Pete
    Db
Oh, Pete just flew into this town
         Ab
And he's choppin' up all the women's
 meat

[Chorus]
         Db
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and 
smackin'
         Ab
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and 
smackin'
         Bb7
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and 
smackin'
        Db
He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that
 meat

Ab
Butcher Pete's got a long sharp 
knife
   Ab
He starts choppin' and don't know 
when to stop
Db
All you fellas gotta watch your 
wives
       Ab
'Cause Pete don't care whose meat he
 chops

Ab
Ever since Pete flew into town
Ab
He's been havin' a ball
Db
Just cuttin' and choppin' for miles 
around
Ab
Single women, married women, old 
maids and all

[Chorus]

Ab
Wakes up in the morning, half past 
five
Ab
Chops from sunrise to sunset
Db
I don't see how he stays alive
Ab
Meat's gonna be the death of ole 
Pete yet

[Chorus]

Solo
Ab / / / | Db / Ab / | Eb / Ab /

Ab
The poe-lice put Pete in jail
Ab
Yes, he finally met his fate
    Db
But when they came to pay his bail
Ab
They found him choppin' on his cell 
mate

[Chorus]

     Ab
That Butcher Pete is a crazy man
Db
Tries to chop down the wind and the 
rain
Ab
Just hacks on anything he can get
Ab
Say, turn this record over, you 
ain't heard nothin' yet
