[G] Okay, I get to draft behind Dell on this one and see if I can keep up with him.
This [D] is, I wanted to write [N] one real live, bad tooth, hillbilly murder ballad for this [G] record, and this is it.

[D] Here [G] we go.
I've been to the cemetery four times, [C] don't laugh
I said to Danny, home [G] across the snow, she lives the rest of the time
Carry on and carry, Terry Brown [C] had cried
I can't [G] marry Terry Brown, believe I'd [D] rather die
[G] Believe I'd [C] rather die, [D] boy, believe I'd [G] rather die
I [C]
[G] [D]
[G] [A] [C]
[G] [Gm]
[G] spent the last ten dollars there, didn't [C] need nothing
Just a touch [G] of sweet Carrie's [Em] hand, when she handed me [D] my chain.
[G] I hung around for close some time, and Carrie's [C] believed my eyes.
I'm done [G] walking on North, with a boy named Billy White.
Dearie, darling Carrie, Carrie [C] Brown I cried.
If I [G] can't marry Carrie Brown, [D] Levi'd rather die.
[G] [C] Levi'd rather die, boy, [D] [G] Levi'd rather die.

[G] [Em] [D]
[G] [C]
[G]
I'm walking around in Bristol town, a pretty [C] broken man.
A heart of [G] pine, Carrie [Em] Brown, and a pistol [D] in my hand.
[G] We met again on the state street, poor Billy [C] was a mean.
I shot him [G] in Virginia, [D] he died in [G] Tennessee.
Dearie, darling Carrie, Carrie [C] Brown I cried.
If I [G] can't marry Carrie Brown, Levi'd [D] rather die.
[G] Levi'd [C] rather die, [D] boy, Levi'd [G] rather die.
[C] [G] [Em]
[D] [G]
[C] [G] [Gm]
[G] I'm laying in Bristol jail, all I [C] do is cry.
But the jury [G] found me guilty, the judge says [D] I must die.
[G] I'm just a poor young man, boy, I ain't never [C] been to town.
I come to [G] a rude nation for the love of Carrie Brown.
Dearie, darling Carrie, Carrie [C] Brown I cried.
If I can't marry [G] Carrie Brown, Levi'd rather [D] die.
[G] Levi'd rather [C] die, [D] boy, Levi'd rather [G] die.
