I'm [A] not sure there's a point to the story
But I'm going to tell [Am] it again
[A] And like just [Am] about every other tale
[A] Something's going to die in the end
It was a junk house in South Carolina
Held a boy the age of ten
[A] A long friend, his older brother Billy
And the mother [Am] and her boyfriend
Who [D] was a triple loser with some blue tattoos
That were given to him when he was young
[Am] In a drunk temper that was easy to lose
[C] But thank God he didn't own a [Am] gun
Billy woke up in the back of his truck
Took a minute to open [Am] his eyes
[A] He took a peep into the back of the house
And found himself a fake surprise
[D] He didn't see his brother
But there was his mother with a red-headed head and a hat
[Am] Her boyfriend with his gloves wrapped around an old crease
Trying [B] to choke the man
[Am] [A]

[F] [Am]

[G] [A] [F]
[B] [Am]
[Am] Billy looked up from the window to the truck
He threw up and had to struggle to stand
He saw that redneck bastard with a hammer
Turn the beast into a shell of a man
[D] The beast was moving up the fight of his life
But he was older, he was bound [E] to lose
[Am] The boyfriend hit as hard as he could
And knocked the beast right down [E] to his shoes
[Am]
[D] Now Billy Newman never actually met
The preacher lying [Am] there in the room
He heard himself say, I must be my daddy
Then he knew what he was gonna do
[D] Billy woke up with enough courage to get up
And grab the first brown thing he could find
[Am] It was a cold glass bottle of milk
That got delivered [Bm] every morning at nine
[Am]
[B] [G]
[Dm]
[G]
[F]
[G] [F]
[E] Now Billy he knew he could tell the Hounds AT IT ALL
Now [Am] he broke in, he saw the blood on the floor
They turned around and put the lock on the door
[Dm] They yelling up, Billy knew that boyfriend died
[E] His mother was a ghost who would dare to cry
But [Am] he took a step, told them down on the ground
With a loud trickle-out, I let it all over [Dm] sound
Bill, the boyfriend, shout, get out [E] of here
They said, now tell everyone what this is all about
[Am] That preacher here was a trick and your mama
But Billy knew just who was starting the drama
[Dm] So Billy took that aim at his [E] face
So, mind alone, the man I left is down in disgrace
[Am] The white girl tripped down with the blood
And the boyfriend fell down dead for [Dm] good
But next to the preacher who was gasping for [E] air
Billy shouted, Daddy, why'd you have to come back [Am] here?
His mama reached behind the sugar and honey and
Pulled out an envelope filled with money
[D] Your [Dm] daddy gave us this, he could last in [E] tears
He'd been paying all the bills for years
[Am] Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees
Put daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee
[Dm] Just then his little brother came in, [E] holding a milkman's hat
A bottle of gin and singing
[Am] La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la [Dm] la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la [E]
[Am]
[D] la, yeah
La la la la, la la la [E] la, yeah
La la [F] la la, yeah
La la la la,
[E] [Am] la la la la, yeah
[A]
So now you've heard another side to the story
But you [B] wanna know how it ends
[Am]
If you [B] must know the truth about the tale
Go and [Am] ask the milkman
[C#] [A] [N]
