had come [Am] right home to me.

[B] [Am]
[Am] Well I couldn't raise that kind of money fast, so I was left no other choice.
So I called the police, and they came in fast, [D] saying leave it [Am] up to us.
Just [F] do as [C] we told, the ransom's in [Am] this bag.
We'll [F] watch [C] over you, [Bm] and we'll have your husband [E] back too.

their hands. Hello?
[Dbm] Listen very carefully lady, drive out to the abandoned [B] shack on Highway 16.
[Bm] Throw the package of money out [Bb] the window, and keep driving.
And remember lady, no police.
Oh my heart was [Am] heavy as I made that drive, [D] I was sure something [Am] was wrong.
I soon found the shack, I threw out the bag, and I just kept driving on.
Then [F] the shot, [C] [Bm] and I turned my car [Am] about.
All [F] the ground [C] lay, [Bm] but the other one had [E] gotten away.
