Am - this sometimes has the 1st finger pulling off and hammering on G6 - 3200xx
Am I'm not sure if there's a point to this story CG6Am But I'm going to tell it again Am So many other people try to tell the tale CG6Am Not one of them knows the end

Am It was a junk-house in South Carolina CG6 Held a boy the age of ten Am Along with his Older brother Billy CG6Am And a mother and her boyfriend D Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos D That were given to him when he was young Am And a drunk temper that was easy to lose CG6EmAm And thank god he didn't own a gun
Am Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck CG6Am Took a minute to open his eyes Am He took a peep into the back of the house CG6Am And found himself a big surprise D He didn't see his brother but there was his mother D With her red-headed head in her hands Am While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest CG6EmAmCG6EmG6F Trying to choke the man

Am Billy looked up from the window to the truck CG6Am Threw up, and had to struggle to stand Am He saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer CG6Am Turn the priest into a shell of a man D The priest was putting up the fight of his life D But he was old and he was bound to lose Am The boyfriend hit as hard as he could CG6EmAm (Manodlin Enters) And knocked the priest right down to his shoes

Am Well, now Billy knew but never actually met CG6Am The preacher lying there in the room Am He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy" CG6Am Then he knew what he was gonna do D Billy got up enough courage, took it up D And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find Am It was a cold, glass bottle of milk CG6EmAmCG6EmG6F That got delivered every morning at nine

(the E chords that follow may be Em chords but Im not sure)
Am Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and Am He turned around and put the lock on the door Dm He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye E His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
Am He took a step toward the man on the ground Am From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound Dm He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out" E And Billy said, "Not till I know what this is all about"
Am "Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama" Am But Billy knew just who was starting the drama Dm So Billy took dead aim at his face E And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and
Am The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the Am Boyfriend fell down dead for good Dm Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air E And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"
Am His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and Am Pulled out an envelope filled with money Dm "Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears E "He's been paying all the bills for years"
Am "Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees Am and put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee" Dm Just then, his little brother came in E Holding the milk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing,
AmDmE
Am Well now you heard another side to the story CG6Am But you wanna know how it ends? Am If you must know, the truth about the tale CG6Am Go and ask the milkman
