Em 


verse 1 
Em 
She told me he was beating her today 
                                         Am 
And she showed me all the bruises on her face 
        Am 
I said, baby, can I make it all OK 
          B                             Em 
She said, honey, you should make him go away 


verse 2 
Em 
There's a hundred thousand dollars in the bank 
                                 Am 
And the policy he took out yesterday 
            Am 
We can live outside the country for awhile 
             B                         Em 
Until things smooth over and get under control 
          B                             Em 
There's a tattoo of your name across my soul 


verse 3 
Em 
I bought a rifle and black guns without a name 
                                 Am 
For an alibi she went six states away 
           Am 
When I saw him I felt fire I felt cold 
         B                            Em 
Like the devil and the Lord wanted my soul 
          B                             Em 
Like this tattoo of your name across my soul 


verse 4 
Em 
So I shot him in his car until he died 
                                    Am 
I called to give the signal and she cried 
Am 
Life has a way of making other plans 
               B                           Em 
She called the cops and said I was a crazy man 
          B                             Em 
I'm gonna get this thing removed when I can 


Instrumental 
Em    Am    B    Em 


Verse 5 
Em 
There was never any policy 
                                         Am 
And the bruises came from falling on the street 
       Am 
So the judge gave me one hundred thousand years 
       B                                 Em 
In the courtroom she was filling up with tears 


Verse 6 
Em 
I saw her hold the lawyer's hand real tight 
                                          Am 
They looked tired from lack of sleep last night 
          Am 
Seems the whole time she had me under control 
       B                            Em 
With a tattoo of her name across my soul 
        B                         Em 
She got off and I will never have parole
