I warned him not to try and take her from me 
   G                 D                         A  
He laughed and said if I can I will you know I will 
     Bm                               D  
So tonight when they get home I'll be waiting

This gun will buy back the pride they took from me

And also end this life of mine, that's worthless now 
 
       D                                              
By the time you tell the sheriff, it'll all be over 
      G                D                A 
He'll find me at their big house on the hill 
      Bm                         D 
He'll find a note explaining why I killed us all 
    G                                    D 
Now it's time to go, I've got someone to kill
