Tonart: F major•
Verse 1
F
My dear Helen it's been a while
Dm
Charlie and I haven't been
Bb
He's slowing down a little
Edim
and my knee's acting up
Bb
Yeah we're quite a pair of geezers
moving slower than molasses
Gm
You'd be laughing if you saw us,
C
you always loved to tease
Verse 2
F
I dug up an old bottle of
Dm
So I'm slouched out on the porch
Gm
swing just taking my time
Bb
My mind keeps turning
Edim
out these pictures of you
Gm
Bb
You were dancing in the kitchen
Gm
and I was enjoying my view
Oh Charlie was squirming just
Verse 3
Bb
remember when you said
Dm
That you'd be waiting at the gates
Gm
so you could sneak me in?
Bb
Well it sure was funny but it
Edim
still caught in my throat
Bb
And when I think about it now,
it still makes me choke
Gm
And I wonder if those gates
Edim
C
would ever open up for me
Verse 4
Bb
I do have something to tell
Dm
I don't know how to start
Gm
so I guess I just will
Bb
See, these nights have been hot,
Edim
it's that muggy sort of air
Bb
Doesn't let me get to sleep
so I usually just lie there
Gm
C
On top of my quilt with Charlie by my feet
Verse 5
F
Last night as I laid there
Bb
frustrated and tired
Dm
I was sat up in my bed by
Gm
the hens starting wild
Bb
I thought 'That fox is back again,
Edim
he's gonna rob me blind
Bb
I don't know how he gets in
but I'd better make him fly'
Gm
C
So I took my leaning rifle out the door
Verse 6
C
F
Bb
I fired off a shot aiming far into the heat
Dm
And as soon as it was flying I
Gm
felt weak in my knees
Bb
I heard shoes turning gravel
Edim
and then tires spitting rocks
Bb
I heard a gasp for air and
my stomach tied in knots
Gm
Charlie started whining with his
tail between his legs
We wandered out slow but my
heart was breaking ribs
Bb
I couldn't hear nothing and there
Edim
was a girl lying twisted
Bb
My hands were trembling and
Edim
I felt that she was limp
Bb
Gm
Her pulse wasn't tapping so
I felt sick to my stomach
Charlie was frozen, so I went for a shovel
Bb
And I buried her body,
Edim
I didn't know what else to do
Verse 7
Bb
If I'd only aimed a little higher
If I'd only thought before I fired
Gm
I hope God can forgive me,
I hope for you to forgive me too
I'm just a tired old man
just waiting to join you
Bb
So here I am slouched on this
Edim
old porch swing
Bb
Thinking about heaven,
Edim
thinking about everything
Bb
Gm
So be waiting by those gates,
Verse 8
you might need to sneak me in
Gm
I don't know how they feel
about us accidental killers
Bb
I don't know how they feel
about us tired old men
I don't know how they feel about us tired
I don't know how they feel
about us tired old murdering men
