Tom: Em
Em
[Verse 1]
G
For eight days in a row now,
Em
I've stood by my window.
D
They're coming, I know that
Em
they're coming for me.
G
I loved a woman,
Em
but she wasn't human.
D
And there's no use in
Em
trying to make 'em see.
[Chorus]
G
White ash and black ash,
Em
a sharp edge, a strong back.
D
I've been a bad man,
Em
and them are the facts.
G
Got an old leather bible
Em
and a buffalo rifle.
D
There won't be a trial,
Em
and I know that.
N.C.
[Verse 2]
G
Down by the water,
Em
I caught me an otter.
D
And after I shot it,
Em
I boiled it down.
G
Hiding for rope,
Em
tallow for soap,
D
Put the rest in a pot and
Em
stir it around.
[Chorus]
G
White ash and black ash,
Em
a sharp edge, a strong back.
D
I've been a bad man,
Em
and them are the facts.
G
Got an old leather bible
Em
and a buffalo rifle.
D
There won't be a trial,
Em
and I know that.
N.C.
[Outro]
N.C.
White ash and black ash,
N.C.
a sharp edge, a strong back.
N.C.
I've been a bad man,
N.C.
and I know that.
