Intro: Am
Am
I took her down to the riverside.
I asked her if she wanted to be my blushing bride.
G F
By her reaction I thought we were meant to be, but she said,
C F C F
'No, no no no no, no.'
Am
I pushed her in, so she would die.
I saw the trembling look of horror in her eyes.
G F
I watched her go down three times and only come up twice and she said,
C F C F
'No, no no no no, no.'
A#/G Am
I ran through the trees, til I fell down on my knees,
Dm A#/G F E7/B
and I criiiiiiiied, to myseeeeelf...
Am
I went back home to get my gun.
I knew right then I'd have to live life on the run.
G F
I hear those hound dogs barking, chasing after me and I said,
C F C F
'No, no no no no, no.'

I can hear them closing in. A penitentiary, don't sound good to me.
D7 F
So I'll take my life, like I took my wife.
D7 G
It's the last you'll hear of me,

that's the way it's gotta be.

So I'll say goodbye to the world that wasn't meant for me.
