Verse 1
G 
C 
It all started out in Illinois with a woman
F 
that I thought was just my own
G 
She saw a new tie and a new shirt kicked
her heels and flipped her skirt
Slammed that door and left me
C 
standing all alone
They had a love nest in his new club
F 
there went my wife all over town
G 
As I watched it I got green and with
my drinkin' I got mean
Stuck a match and burned that
C 
club right to the ground

Verse 2

And I spent nine months in the hole

lyin' there in solitaire

And nobody cared nobody

cared nobody cared

Verse 3
C 
There was a screw out in the hall that
had me backed up to the wall
Escortin' me with a water pistol
in that 36 degrees
With me shiverin' to my knees I
ain't gonna forget about that water pistol
If I've been bad you think
that'll make me better
If I've been a sinner you think that'll
make me a saint no it ain't
Freedom come and I found
him made him take off
F 
All his clothes and socks and shoes
G 
Had him scramblin' on the floor
tryin' to make it to the door
Cryin' crawlin' screamin'
C 
bloody murder too
Well I didn't really kill him though over
F 
his whole world there hung a paw
G 
I made him bend over on his knees and
to his screams of Owen please
Took my turpentine water pistol
C 
and I let him have it all
