[Chorus]
Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn
[Verse 1]
Cm G7 Cm G7 The trees are bending over and the cows are lying down Cm G7 Cm G7 The autumn's taking over, you can hear the Buckshot hounds Cm G7 Cm G7 The watchman said to Reba the loon Cm G7 Cm G7 Was it pale at Manzanita, was it Blind Bob the coon? Cm G7 Cm G7 Pin it on a drifter they sleep beneath the bridge Cm G7 Cm G7 One plays the violin and sleeps inside a fridge
[Chorus]
Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn
[Verse 2]
Cm G7 Cm G7 Someone's crying in the woods, someone's burying all his clothes Cm G7 Cm G7 Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer slept outside last night and froze Cm G7 Cm G7 Roadkill has its seasons just like anything Cm G7 Cm G7 There's possums in the autumn and there's farm cats in the spring
[Chorus]
Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn
[Verse 3]
Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house or covet they neighbor's wife G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 But for some murder is the only door through which they enter life Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 Well, they surrounded the house, they smoked him out, took him off in chains Cm G7 Cm G7 They sky runed black and bruised and we had months of heavy rains Cm G7 Cm G7 Now, the ravens nest in the rotted roof of Chenoweth's old place Cm G7 Cm G7 And no one's asking Cal about that scar upon his face Cm G7 Cm G7 Cm G7 'Cause there's nothin' strange about an axe with bloodstains in barn, Cm G7 Cm G7 There's always some killin' you got to do around the farm
[Chorus]
Cm G7 Cm G7 There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn
[Verse 4]
Cm G7 Cm G7 The woods will never tell what sleeps beneath the trees Cm G7 Cm G7 Or what's buried 'neath a rock or hiding in the leaves Cm G7 Cm G7 'Cause Roadkill has its seasons just like anything Cm G7 Cm G7 There's possums in the autumn and there's farm cats in the spring
[Chorus]
Cm G7 Cm G7 There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn
[Verse 5]
Cm G7 Cm G7 Now, a lady can't do nothin' without folks' tongues waggin' Cm G7 Cm G7 Is this blood on the tree or is it autumn's red blaze? Cm G7 Cm G7 When the ground' soft for diggin' and the rain will bring all this gloom Cm G7 Cm G7 There's nothing wrong with a lady drinking alone in her room
[Outro]
Cm G7 Cm G7 There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn Cm G7 Cm G7 There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn
Cm G7 Cm G7
