David Allan Coe – Suicide (Guitar)

E     D
yeah, yeah,

A
Standing in the bedroom with a gun in my hand

D
Pulling on the trigger just as fast as I can

C                           D                 E           A       G A
I can hear her scream as she reaches for the lover beside her

A
Married by the Bible, she was only sixteen

D
I was fresh from prison trying to follow my dream

C                             D              E               A       G A
Who'd ever thought I'd be the judge and the jury that tried her?

B
Blood splattered all over the wall

C#
The gun still smoking as I watch it fall

  D                                E                       A         G A
I run through the door while the sirens blow out on the highway

A
Maybe they'll catch me and maybe they won't

D
But they both knew me but the police don't

    C                      D           E             A     G A
It really doesn't matter I just had to do things my way

E      D
Yeah, yeah,

C              E         A
I might just commit suicide,

A
He's the only man that I trusted with my life

D
I can't understand why he ran off with my wife

C                      D            E              A      G A
Now that they're dead what's gonna happen to the baby?

A
The state will have to raise her just the way they did me

D
Her mother wanted freedom and I just set her free

C                                      D       E          A      G A
She should have never let me see that she anything but a lady

B
She called out my name just before she died

C#
She swore she loved me and I almost cried

D                        E                            A
With trembling hands I reached out and tried to save her

A
Cheating is something I can understand

D
But not when it's cheating with my best friend

C                               D            E           A         G A
She betrayed the love and the trust and the baby I gave her,

E      D
Yeah, Yeah,

E     D    A
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
