'52 Ford Murder by Death
I hit the road i[Dm]n a '52 Ford[Gm]
[C]A pack of matches
And a po[Dm]stcard on the dashboard
[Dm]The sun was set
[Gm]The gas gauge was low
[C]And it was time to[Dm] go
[Dm]I met the girl at a juk[Gm]e joint on the fly
[C]Needed a friend the day my mother d[Dm]ied
[Dm]Her place was hot and it sme[Gm]lled of sin
[C]I guess when one life goes another be[Dm]gins
[Gm]Hey now, w[Dm]hat you gonna do?
[A]Got a fiver in your pocket
[Dm]And a switchblade in your boot
[Gm]Hey now wh[Dm]at you gonna say
[A]To make it go aw[Dm]ay?
[Dm]I found the city by the m[Gm]ark on the stamp
[C]Studied it under the li[Dm]ght of a hotel lamp
[Dm]I found his work, I fo[Gm]und their home
[C]I waited until I kn[Dm]ew she was alone
[Dm]I didn't want the child t[Dm]o see life
[C]I justified that it wo[Dm]unded my pride
[Dm]My mind was set that n[Gm]o one could know
[C]The girl had to [Dm]go
[Gm]Hey now, w[Dm]hat you gonna do?
[A]Got a fiver in your pocket
[Dm]And a switchblade in your boot
[Gm]Hey now wh[Dm]at you gonna say
[A]To make it go a[Dm]way?
[Gm]Hey now, wh[Dm]at you gonna do?
[A]Got a fiver in your pocket
[Dm]And a switchblade in your boot
[Gm]Hey now w[Dm]hat you gonna say
[A]To make it go aw[Dm]ay?
[Dm]Light stumbled in
Through a c[Gm]rack in the shades
[C]Reflected off of the e[Dm]dge of my blade
[Dm]As I reached for the girl
[Gm]With the knife in my hand
[C]I thought "I guess the kid des[Dm]erves a chance"
[Dm]Her man came in as I st[Gm]arted to go
[C]My last intentions; h[Dm]ow could he know?
[Dm]The blade sunk deep in[Gm]to my skin
[C]I guess when one life g[Dm]oes another begins
Dm Dm Fm Fm riff based on the open Dm
