Don't play the high E string on the D chord.
[Intro]
D Cadd9 Cadd9 G D x2
[Verse 1]
D Cadd9
When the triggers moving backwards, and the pin hits the shell
G Cadd9 G D
When my soul sinkin’ slowly into the warm pits of hell
D Cadd9
Won't you tell my baby sister that I'll be back in the fall
G Cadd9 G D
Cause it's better to have false hope than no hope at all
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
And I'll be meeting with my savior to go over my foolish deeds
Cadd9 Cadd9 G D
When he asks me why I did it lord I'll blame it on the seed
Cadd9 G
Cause it didn't grow in like I planned and when it did it all went dry
Cadd9 Cadd9 G D
And I couldn't stand to hear the pain of a, small baby crying
D Cadd9 Cadd9 G D x2
[Verse 2]
D Cadd9
Well I remember in the graveyards well I used to read the names
G Cadd9 G D
And I wondered when the good lord would take my soul away
D Cadd9
Well I wonder if he planned it to happen like this at all
G Cadd9 G D
With the shot heard halfway cross the world and my sins on the wall
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
And I'll be meeting with my savior to go over my foolish deeds
Cadd9 Cadd9 G D
When he asks me why I did it lord I'll blame it on the seed
Cadd9 G
Cause it didn't grow in like I planned and when it did it all went dry
Cadd9 Cadd9 G D
And I couldn't stand to hear the pain of a, small baby crying
D Cadd9
And they'll tell me I'm a bad man, but they’ve never seen the sight
G Cadd9 G D
Of a baby wailing in his crib, and ripping apart the night
Cadd9 G D
It’s a small baby crying
[Outro]
D Cadd9 G Cadd9
Cadd9 G D x2
