[D]
[C] [D]
I live out in the woods, in a cabin all alone.
A ten by twelve one room [G] shack is what I call [D] my home.
I don't live alone by choice, it's by necessity.
I'm hiding from the [C] law, cause I'm a wanted [D] man you see.
if [G] they ever [D] track me down.
[G] That's why I make my home up in the hills where the law [D] don't come around.

_ _ _ I live out in the woods, in a cabin all _ alone. _ _ _
A ten by twelve one room [G] shack is what I call [D] my home.
_ _ _ _ I don't live alone by choice, it's by necessity. _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm hiding from the [C] law, cause I'm a wanted [D] man you see.
[G] And they'll put [D] me in the _ ground, _ if [G] they ever [D] track me down. _ _
_ _ [G] That's why I make my home up in the hills where the law [D] don't come around.
[C] Cause they'll put [G] me in [D] the ground, if they ever track me down. _ _ _
_ It was late one afternoon, way back in the _ past.
_ _ _ The revenue would bust through the trees as we was cooking the day's last.
My _ _ _ brother Drew was gone, the revenue would droop.
_ _ _ _ Two _ gunshots, two bodies dead, [G] no one [D] else but Buddy Bugray.
[C] And they'll [G] put me [D] in the ground, _ _ _ _ [G] if they [D] ever track me down. _ _ _
[G] That's why I make my home up in the hills where the law don't [D] come around. _
Cause they'll put me in the ground, _ if they ever track me down. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ With no one there to see, just how the deal went down. _ _ _ _
The only two who know the truth, [G] they're six [D] foot in the ground. _
_ _ _ Like it ain't bad enough, my brother lost his life. _ _ _
I'm a wanted man stuck in [Am] these woods, [D] hiding from his fire.
[C] And [D] they'll put me in the ground, _ _ if [G] they ever track [D] me down. _ _ _
_ [G] That's why I make my home up in the hills where the law don't [D] come around.
Cause [G] they'll put [D] me in the ground, [C] if they [D] ever track me down.
If they ever track me down. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

While the congregation's [C] getting [G] stoned to the bone. _ _
