[Intro] Am Em Am C [Verse 1]
Am                  Em
Carolina Mountain, Carolina Wind

Am                                  C
My first day on the outside of that Carolina pen

D                        D
Fresh air on my face, I finally see blue skies

Em                         Am
First time in twenty years without bars and razor wire
[Pre-chorus]
F                C
Call me a felon, mock the tattoos on my skin

Em                             Am
But if had the choice to make, I'd do twenty years again
[Chorus]
G                               D
Those Carter boys came calling, when I was working overnight

Em                                  C
They broke in and they took turns, then they murdered my sweet wife

G                                  D
But I caught up with both of them down by the railroad tracks

Em                                     C
I took my time and I took their lives, they ain't never coming back

G                                      D
Then I called the cops with my address and I laid down my gun

Em                                                   C               Am
Yeah, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do to make sure justice is done
G E C Am [Verse 2]
Am                               Em
Well, I gave a full confession 'cause I had nothing more to hide

Am                             C
And nothing left to live for, I'm already dead inside

D                                Am
Yeah, they gave me twenty years to think about that night

Em                                    C
But not a day slips away when I don't think about my wife
[Chorus]
G                               D
Those Carter boys came calling, when I was working overnight

Em                                  C
They broke in and they took turns, then they murdered my sweet wife

G                                  D
But I caught up with both of them down by the railroad tracks

Em                                     C
I took my time and I took their lives, they ain't never coming back

G                                      D
Then I called the cops with my address and I laid down my gun

Em                                                   C               Am
Yeah, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do to make sure justice is done

Em                                            C               Am         Em
Yeah, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, to make sure... Justice is done
