Verse 1
They got the [Am]farmhouse burning,[Em] watched it [G]burn to the [F]ground
Smoke[Am] filled the [Em]horizon just, [G]two miles from [F]town
[Am]There was no need to [Em]worry, there was [G]no one[F] who'd care
[Am]It was a dog den[G] where good men were [Am]rare.[Am]
Verse 2
With the [Am]wheels on the [Em]highway through the [G]cold autumn [F]rain
[Am]Out came the [Em]pistols and a [G]book full of [F]names
[Am]Thumbing each one [Em]who'd sing [G]out the [F]words
Facing [Am]hard time is an [G]old junkie curse.[Am]

On [F]down [G]between the [Am]country,
Where [F]deer [G]lay, along the [Am]road,

Verse 3
When they caught up with [Em]Henry, he [G]was out in his [F]yard
[Am]Splitting that [Em]beechwood before the [G]winter hit [F]hard
[Am]Laid a bullet in his [Em]back, watched him [G]drop like a[F] rock
And come to [Am]rest 'cross that [G]old chopping [Am]block.[Am]
Verse 4
[Am]Anne Carol ran the [Em]uppers from the [G]laundry [F]downtown
[Am]Played online [Em]poker when there was [G]no one [F]around
And [Am]except for a few strays in the [G]dead parking [F]lot
Not a [Am]soul heard the [G]thud or the [Am]shot.
