[Bb] [C] This song is called guilty as can [N] be it was a
Inspired by the work at the prison and my family's most of my family's either working for the prisoner or locked up in prison
In the state of [Ab] Texas and my wife was [Bb] telling me at dinner one night.
You should write a prison song
You should write a song about you know the prison stuff it and I finally had enough and so on the way home
I sang this song into [Ab] my iPhone and I was really trying to think you know like Jamie Johnson type [Eb] outlaw, you know and
Came home put the [Ab] music to her and I played it for her and she said no
That's not what I had in mind and I said why she said could you killed her?
I said, I don't know who died in the song.
You can make your own depiction, but
[D] She thought I was a little violent through that and I have a wild side, but it's not that Violent
As I had me a woman
Everything was going my way
She thought I'd hung
[A] She had an [D] angel's face
One night I pulled in my drive and something [G] was going on
[D] There was a long bed for in my [A] spot that I [D] damn sure didn't know
[G] [D] I walked up to the screen door not heard the start.
No
Now moved on to the living [A] room
There's that my two [D] boys
But I said first mama neighbor pointed to the bedroom down [G] the hall
[D] Now I've never been a fight man, [A] but red [D] was all I saw
See brother cuz I've been down and I've been [G] out and I know [D] how it feels
Stand up for what you [F] think is [A] right and [B] get knocked [C] off your [Db] heels
[D] And if murder in a man didn't understand what she [G] meant to me
[D] Means I'll rot here in this [Dm] cell for [A] eternity
[D] [G] Well, mr.
[F] I'm [G] as guilty
[D] Well, [C]
[G] [D] wish I had me a picture
What is face look like?
Not kicked in my [Dm] bedroom door [A] raised my 45
[D] Said I ain't the kind of hurt a woman and I hope you [G] understand
[D] Somebody's got to die [A] today son.
It looks [D] like you're the man
See brother cuz I've [D] been down and I've [G] been out and I know how [D] it feels
Stand up for what you [F] think is [A] right and get [B] knocked [C] off your [D] heels
And if murder in a man didn't understand this what she [G] meant to me
[D] Means I'll rot here in this [C] cell for [A] eternity
[G] Well, mr.
[Am] I'm as guilty [D] as can be
[G] That's
[D] [C] [A] [G]
[F] [D] [C]
[G] [D] what I told that jury
It's what I told that judge.
I knew there'd [Am] be hell to pay [A] if I fulfilled [C] my
[D] Rush see I don't mind these prison bars took off in these pine trees
Something about that cheating [A] woman.
She [Em] won't need [D] again on me
[G] [D] Stand up for what you think [A] is right and get [C] knocked off [Dbm] your [D] heels
And if murder in a man didn't understand this what [G] she meant to me
