Life Love Death And The Meter Man(Chords)

	        

       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
