e|--0--3--0-------------------| B|--1--------3--1--0----------| G|--2-----------------2p0-----| D|--2----------------------0--| (He plays the open D string with his fret hand middle finger A|--0-------------------------| like the pull-off on the G string though it doesn't sound E|--x-------------------------| much different to just play it with the right hand like normal) Am Henrietta, Indiana mill town C/G Locked the factory down and shut it up tight G My daddy and my brother and sixteen-hundred others F Lost everything they had in the night Am Daddy got a taste for the hard stuff C/G Henrietta, Indiana was dry G We'd ride out to Putney, he'd tell me that he loved me F The drive home was always so quiet Dm G He had a devil in his eye, eye Am Like a thorn in the paw Am/G Disregard for the law F Disappointment to the Lord on high
[Riff (x1)] Am
Am My brother practiced preaching in the basement C/G Perspiration on his face 'til I knew G That something was missing
His spirit was willing
F He could not believe it was true Am "Blessed be the poor," he said C/G "Your treasure is on high." G All of Henrietta, Indiana heard me hallelujah F When I finally saw the devil in his eye Dm G I saw a devil in his eye, eye Am Like a thorn in the paw Am/G Disregard for the law F Disappointment to the lord on high C/G I was coming home late from a midnight to eight G The radio said they'd ID'd the plates Am Left three men dead, made their escape F By now said the sheriff, they'll be in the next state C/G Will we be able to catch them? Can they bring the dogs in? G Can they call up the Bureau? Do they have next-of-kin? Am Cameras came to our door and I opened it wide F Am C/G G F They thought I was crying, it was something in my eye, eye, eye, Am C/G G F eye, eye, eye, oh
Am C/G G F
Am C/G G F
Am At night I leave a bottle on the table C/G The Bible open to the Sermon on the Mount G Blessed be the poor of Henrietta, Indiana F But happy are the ones that get out Am I think I'll drive over to Putney C/G The store'll be open to twelve G The empty parking lot, the lights, the lonely kid, the register F I see it all clear as a bell Dm G I got a devil in my eye, eye Am Like a thorn in the paw Am/G Disregard for the law F Disappointment to the Lord on high Am G Eye, eye F Like a thorn in the paw F Disregard for the law F Am Am/G Am/F Am Disappointment to the Lord on high
[Riff x1] End with single Am
