ANGRY JOHNNY AND THE KILLBILLIES - Life, Love, Death And The Meter Man
G
He was holding the McCulloch
C
When he knocked upon her door
G D G
Yesterday she said she didn’t love him anymore
But it wasn’t her who answered
C
It was some guy he didn’t know
G
So he fired up that chainsaw
D G
and he laid that sucker low
C G
So he fired up that chainsaw
D G
and he laid that sucker low
But when he saw the clipboard lying
C
in the severed hand
G D
He realized that he just limbed from limbed
G
the meter man
Heard the sirens coming, and he sat
C
down on the steps
G D G
Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette
C G D G
Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette
The verdict, it was guilty and they said
C
"you’re gonna fry"
G D
He didn’t see her in the back row,
C G
didn’t hear her cry
All that he could see was the terrified
C
face of the meter man
G D
The moment that he sent him packing to the
G
promised land
C G D
The moment that he sent him packing to the
G
promised land
They led him down the hallway,
C
and the priest said him a prayer
G
He wasn’t none too happy,
D G
but he knew that fair was fair
Still he’d like to thank the meter man,
C G
for coming to the door
D
Otherwise his true love would be
C G
lying scattered on the floor
G D
Otherwise his true love would be
C G
lying scattered on the floor
C
And as for her, she never loved again,
G
no not one time
C
And though she broke his heart
D G
and led him to this ghastly crime
She prayed each day they’d be
C G
together on the other side
C D
And she cried herself to sleep each night until the
G
day she died
C D
She cried herself to sleep each night until the
G
day she died
