simple enough. Chords:
Am
I'm not sure if there's a point to the story
C G
but I'm going to tell it again
Am
So many other people try to tell the tale
C G
not one of them knows the end
Am
It was a junk-house in South Carolina
C G
Held a boy the age of ten
Am
Along with his Older brother Billy
C G Am
And a mother and her boyfriend
D
Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos
D
That were given to him when he was young
Am
And a drunk temper that was easy to lose
C G Em Am
And thank god he didn't own a gun
(same progression through the next verse, but at the end it goes:)
Am C G Em G F Am
Then during the break:
Am G F
(The next verse is the same chords. After the next break, it goes:)
Am
Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and
Am
He turned around and put the lock on the door
Dm
He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
E
His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
Those 4 chords repeat until the end where it returns to the Am C G format.
Simple enough. Enjoy!
