[C] [Dm] [Em] [F] [G] [C]
This story is true, and it's about a [F] neighborhood, Santa, a place [C] in my hometown, back in [F] Savannah,
Georgia.
[G] [C] I was just a [F] little boy, about the [C] age of ten.
[F] Whoa, yeah, [Dm] [C] yeah, I heard my [F] mother talking [C] to a friend.
[F]
I heard [C] my mother say, she had to [F] meet somebody, they weren't [C] any dead.
[F] Yes, they did, y'all.
[C] Just about that time, [Em] [F]
a cat-like car drove up.
[C] A preacher from my local church [F] got out and went in our house.
But, [C] out of the [Em] unexpected, my father [F] came up on the scene.
The last thing I [C] remember, [F] I heard my father scream,
Oh, [Bm] I caught [C] you tonight, you're [F] a father.
Oh, I [C] [F]
caught [C] you, you're [F] a father.
Oh, [C] behind my back.
[Am] [C] Oh, [F] yes, they did, y'all.
[C] Just about that time, [F] I had to look, the whole neighborhood was in our front yard.
[C] When an old lady [F] came over to my father, she said,
[C] Oh, it's a shame, [F] for a rocker to be caught with the wife [C] of another man.
[F] That's when my father cried out loud,
[Em] Oh, [C] open up, boy, [F] I'm taking you down.
[Bb] [C] I got you coming.
[F] Oh, yes, they did, y'all.
[C] Open up, boy, [F] I'm taking you down.
I got you coming.
[C] [F] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[C] At that time, [F] the old lady walked over to my father and said,
Son, [C] put that gun away and let [Dm] the Lord handle things.
And my [C] father said, No, I think I [F] better handle this myself.
And then he walked back to the [C] door.
This [Dm] time, he kicked it open and he said,
Oh, I caught [C] you tonight.
Yeah, [F] yeah, yeah.
[C] [F] Oh, Lord.
I caught [C] you tonight.
I went [F] and found my love.
[C] [F]
[Dm] Oh, you killed [C] me alive.
You killed [F] me alive.
[Bb] You [B] killed me a [C] long time.
[F] Oh, Lord.
Everybody said, [C] I'll never get her.
[F]
I didn't know what was going on at the [C] time.
Oh, [F] Lord, yeah.
