Now Matthew was a country boy until one day he found

D           Dsus4  D      Bm    C         G             D      Dsus4
That cheatin' folks was easier than plowin' his daddy's ground

D           Dsus4  D      Bm   C      G            D    Dsus4
He left his home back in Ohio, bound for Chicago's town

D           Dsus4                 Bm
He crossed Big Jim and turned his back

G        C       G
A bullet cut him down

A         G         F#m   G
And as he lay there dying

Bm                     E
He said "Will I see my Ohio?"

G     F#m     Em     D
In my reply I lied a bit

C        G         D    Dsus4
And said I did not know

D           Dsus4  D      Bm
Now Jim McCall he was meek and small

C         G      D     Dsus4
And to become a man

D           Dsus4  D      Bm
He'd have to build himself up tall

C         G      D     Dsus4
With fancy folks and land

D           Dsus4  D      Bm
He threw some stones at honest friends

C         G      D     Dsus4
And he got himself these things

D           Dsus4  D      Bm
His children left him and he sneered

 G        C             G
"That's what my kindness brings"

A         G         F#m   G
And on the south side he got lost

Bm                     E
He asked me where to go

G     F#m     Em     D
In my reply I lied a bit

C        G         D    Dsus4
And said I did not know

A         G         F#m   G
Yes Miss Lazy Susan called me up

Bm                     E
She heard I stole the show

G     F#m     Em     D
In my reply I lied a bit

C        G         D    Dsus4
