Well those that sin against
me are snuffed out
I know that from every day that I live
Goddamn the day that I was born

But one day I will return
And the people of this town will surely see
Just how (F major) quickly the tables (D minor) turn (G major)

Oh (F major) sweet Jesus
This really is the (C major) end
There is (D major) always one more town (E flat major)
A little (C major) further round the (F major) bend
