Tom: C

C
I know you'll excuse me if I say goodnight
 
     F     C             G7
I've got a promise to fulfill
 
Am                            C
Thank you for listening to my troubles
 
       F                      C
Pardon me I've got someone to kill
 
 

I warned him not to try and take her from me
 
   F                C                          G7
He laughed and said if I can I will you know I will 

     Am                               C
So tonight when they get home I'll be waiting
 
       F                      C
Pardon me I've got someone to kill 

 
G7                                  C
I know I'll surely die for what I'm about to do 

             F            C           G7
But it don't matter I'm a dead man anyhow 

     Am                          C
This gun will buy back the pride they took from me 

    F             C                   G7
And also end this life of mine that's worthless now 

 
       C
By the time you tell the sheriff it'll all be over
 
      F                C                G7
He'll find me at their big house on the hill 

      Am                         C
He'll find a note explaining why I killed us all
 
    F                                   C
Now it's time to go I've got someone to kill
