Botched Execution

Am

[Verse]
Am
They botched my execution back in 
1996
          Dm
I climbed out of a window and I 
hopped over the fence
       Am
Had to dig myself a tunnel, put my 
feet on the cement
            Em
And started running, running, 
running, ain't nobody seen me since
             Am
And now I've got to find a friend, 
someone to tell I didn't do it
           Dm
But now my picture's in the paper, 
there's no way that I can prove it
        Am
And the body's in the closet 'cause 
I never got to move it
        E
Now the neighbor kids are talking, 
saying, "Everybody knew it"

[Chorus]
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                        C      E
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                      C     E
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
   Am    F
Ah-ah ah-ah
   Am
...Oh

[Verse 2]
Am
Leave a trail of crumbs, a lure for 
them to bite on
Dm
In a Motel 6, thank God nobody left 
the light on
Am
Dressed myself in women's clothing 
and a wig that I had tried on
         E
Tried to cleanse myself of all those
 alibis I'd relied on
Am
And now I'm lying on my back, 
looking at the ceiling
     Dm
When suddenly I am distracted by 
that old familiar feeling
         Am
With the table and the devil and the
 cards that he was dealing
      E
I was sure enough a slave and some 
poor soul I would be stealing 
tonight

[Chorus]
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                        C      E
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                      C     E
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
   Am    F
Ah-ah ah-ah
   Am
...Oh

[Verse 3]
      Am
Well, hitched my skirt, climbed up 
the car on the railroad
Dm
Found myself a-gazing down the 
barrel at a crossroad
Am
Hide out in the circus, rob a bank, 
hit the payload
   E
Or wait out in the darkness with the
 freaks and kinda lay low
  Am
A storm had downed a power line, 
laying on the trainway
Dm
Standing in a puddle, felt a shock 
and in a ditch lay
Am
In my final moments I could hear the
 lucky judge say
         E
"Well, I guess the execution went as
 scheduled anyway"

[Chorus]
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                        C      E
All my little seeds have groo-o-own
Am
Ah ah
Dm
Ah ah
G                      C     E
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome
   Am    F
Ah-ah ah-ah
   Am
...Oh
