C
I know you'll excuse me if I say goodnight
F C G7
I've got a promise to fulfill
Am C
Thank you for listening to my troubles
F C
Pardon me I've got someone to kill
I warned him not to try and take her from me
F C G7
He laughed and said if I can I will you know I will
Am C
So tonight when they get home I'll be waiting
F C
Pardon me I've got someone to kill
G7 C
I know I'll surely die for what I'm about to do
F C G7
But it don't matter I'm a dead man anyhow
Am C
This gun will buy back the pride they took from me
F C G7
And also end this life of mine that's worthless now
C
By the time you tell the sheriff it'll all be over
F C G7
He'll find me at their big house on the hill
Am C
He'll find a note explaining why I killed us all
F C
Now it's time to go I've got someone to kill
