[Bb]
He [Eb]
came speeding through [Bb] the town each day [Eb] at sundown,
And his car was painted [Ab] candy [Eb] apple red.
He [Ab] was coming there to see the [Eb] sheriff's daughter,
And the sheriff didn't know it, so [Bb] they said.
Time [Eb] and time again [Bb] the sheriff tried to catch him,
But he always [Ab] speeded up and got [Eb] away.
That [Ab] old county jail stood patiently [Eb] awaiting,
And the sheriff [Bb] vowed he'd put him there [Eb] someday.
Well there [Ab] goes candy apple red, [Eb] that's what the people said,
[Bb] If he doesn't slow it down a bit, [Ab] he's gonna end up [Eb] dead.
And the sheriff's daughter said [Eb] she'd rather end up dead,
[Bb] Than to live without her candy [F] apple red.
[Bb]
[Eb]
So the sheriff [Bb] built a [Eb] barricade to catch him,
And he sat there [Ab] at the limits [Eb] of the town.
But [Ab] the sheriff's daughter had already [Eb] met him,
And had married him before the sun [Bb] went down.
When [Eb] the sheriff saw [Bb] them coming down [Eb] the highway,
He saw they couldn't stop [Ab] and quickly [Eb] caught his breath.
As [Ab] they crashed the barricade the [Eb] car exploded,
And the boy and girl [Bb] went to a [Eb] flaming death.
Well there [Ab] goes candy apple red, [Eb] that's what the people said,
[Bb] If he didn't slow it down at all, [Ab] and now he lies there dead.
While the sheriff bowed his head, [Eb] his daughter lay there dead,
[Bb] Cradled in the arms of candy [Ab] apple.
