  D
Once I had me a woman
Everything was goin' my way She thought I had hung the moon
         A
And she had an angel's face

D
Til' one night I pulled in my drive

       G          F      D
And somethin' was goin' on

D
There was a long bed Ford in my spot

    A                      D
That I damn sure didn't own
I walked up to the screen door And I heard this awful noise
                                   A
I moved on to the living room and there sat my two boys

 D
I said "Where's mama?"

                               G           F
And they both pointed to the bedroom down the hall

    D
Now, I ain't ever been a fightin' man

   A                  D
But red was all I saw
[Chorus]
 D
See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out

    G       F        D
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
      A
Then get knocked off your heels

     D
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand

           G         F
Just what she meant to me

 D                                     A
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

          G             F              D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be
[Verse 2]
D
Well I wish I had me a picture of what his face looked like

                                      A
When I kicked in my bedroom door and raised my 45

D                                          G
I said ain't the kind to hurt a woman and I

       F
hope you understand

    D
But somebody's got to die today

A                                 D
Son, it looks like you're the man
[Chorus]
 D
See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out

    G      F        D
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
     A
Then get knocked off your heels

    D
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand

           G
Just what she meant to me

D                                      A
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

           G              F            D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be
D A G F D [Bridge]
D
That's what I told that jury
That's what I told that judge
                                  A
And I knew there'd be hell to pay if I fulfilled my grudge

D                                    G
See I don't mind these prison bars tucked off

      F
in these pine trees

D
One thing about that cheatin' woman

            A              D
She won't cheat again on me
[Chorus]
D
See brother 'cause I've been down and I've been out

    G       F         D
And I know how it feels
To stand up for what you think is right
      A
Then get knocked off your heels

    D
And if murderin' a man who didn't understand

           G         F
Just what she meant to me

D                                       A
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

           G             F              D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be

 D                             D
I said if murderin' a man who didn't understand

           G         F
Just what she meant to me

D                                       A
Means I'll rot here in this cell for eternity

            G             F             D
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be
