_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [G] Luann's fat [Ebm] lip is drying, the bastard's bacon frying, [Eb] the shiner [F] in her eyes got bust [G] from bleeding.
_ [Eb] He shouts, girl, set the table.
She knows she ain't able.
[Cm] Her arm's done [Dm] broke, hung limp like yoke, [Eb] and softly she's [D] repeating, _ _ [Gm] late Luann, why
don't you march out that door?
[Cm] Southern woman, he ain't no good [Gm] to you.
Oh, brave Luann, Louisiana wants war, [D] but you [Dm] dying on her [Cm] ruby plains, _ [Dm] and yet loyal
[Gm] Luann with me. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Eb] Ever since he got him laid off, his sanity's just made off.
No, he was [Bbm] never nice, but [G] now he's cruel. _
_ [Eb] He rapes her and [G] he beats her, she won't vest how he treats her, [Cm] cause a bible [Dm] verse says
it won't get worse and she [D] won't be the food.
_ _ You won't [Gm] ever leave Luann, cause if you walk out that door, his [Cm] truck will be gunning for [Gm] you.
No, you won't leave Luann, cause he'll give you one more.
You [Dm] got heart where you shoulda had [Cm] brains, and [Dm] so loyal [Gm] Luann with me. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Db] _
Someone's [Bb] howling, screams like sirens with battered heads.
[A] Buried _ _ [D]
in [G] the ground and never dying, in [Eb] a fate _ [D] _ worse [Gm] than death. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[G] But months of these conditions turn laymen to logicians, [Eb] and tonight [F] the bastard's sleeping
[G] like a log.
[Eb] So she plucks the kitchen cleaver, [Gb] _ _
creeps toward [Abm] his rug up loudly told, [E] _ _ _
[C] and she cuts
the rope, [D] and hope on hope, [C] she starts to shout, your [D] dog's got out!
[Cm] She's got her [Dm] chance, with no back [Eb] lance, she rungs [D] out to the [D] pug! _ _
Screaming, [E] _ screaming, [Am] leave _ Luann!
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ Leave Luann, you've got a life left to live, [Dm] on a house hanging off the golden [Am] _ _ coast.
Leave Luann, [Dm] hanging off the golden _ coast.
_ Leave Luann, you won't forgive, not forgive, [Em] and you don't feel the sting of bricks and
[Dm] spray, _ _ [Em] as finally Luann [A] escapes.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Swim, _ _ _ _ and in the swamp of leeches, oh, as a preacher preaches, [Bm] as a liar screams.
_ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] Through the marshes, rushes, and the gutter inside you rushes, [Bm] left and right, [A] all night.
_ [G] Until you reach the bank, [D] and you crawl onto the bank, [E] and you feel a little yank on [B] your
hair, and stricken [Eb] _ stare at the bastard, _ [G] _ _ _ beat you there. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ The [Eb] bastard lies in [D] bed now, _ _ [Eb] half sad his wife is dead now.
_ They say she drowned [Bbm] herself in the marsh in [G] wild despair. _ _
[Eb] He thinks he used to love her, [Ebm] but poor shit came to shove her, [Cm] and a wife disposed, [Dm] a
life case closed, [Eb] and no one [D] seemed to care, [Gm] to grieve Luann. _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] Now no one's on [D] his shoulder, _ [G] but his mattress don't feel colder.
[C] In [Eb] fact, it's hellish [Bbm] hot, and the air is [G] dank and steaming. _
[Eb] Yet [A] his body starts to shiver, as the window cracks a sliver, [C] and a fiery fog [D] from the
miry bog [C] pours in the room, [D] in a sticky gloom, [Cm] and there the [Dm] man sees dead Luann.
[Cm] He's terrified, but he's caught in his [Eb] pride, but he know he [D] ain't dreaming.
Then _ he starts screaming, [Gm] leave Luann, [Bb] hell send you back [D] here for more, _ [Cm] cause ain't no
one [F] ever loved [Gm] you.
[E] _ _ _ [Gm] Dead Luann, [Dm] I come [D] to settle a score, and [Dm] she shows him her feet are bound [Cm] in chains,
_ _ [Dm] and loyal Luann. _
_ [N] Remains [Gm] and remains and remains and remains, [E] _ someone _ [Bb]
tell [A] him, screams like sire, with
battered breath, _ [B] _ sprayed [E] in, growl [F] him, never dying, _ [Eb] in a _
_ [Ebm] [D] faint word.
_ [Gm] And dead Luann, she cries her miserable nails, so [Cm] the bastards will never [Gm] sleep again.
No, no reprieve Luann, she pulls the soul down her [Dm] hell, crashing through the coolest
[Cm] of hell, crashing through the coolest of hell.
I [Gm] love Luann, _
_ [N] baby. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Amen.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
