Verse 1
      A                  A 
And I walked along and I hum a song 
        A                  A 
With my barrel down in the early dawn 
      D                     D 
And I flushed a hare and my primer flared 
       D              D 
And it got away and I shed a tear 
          E7                E7 
Cause you left the same and I'm to blame 
    D            D           A 
And we may never love again

Verse 2
        A                A 
And I'm cleaning up that busted truck 
    A             A 
I'd keep it but I need a buck 
      D                 D 
And I reach beneath the driver seat 
      D                  D 
And I found the card you made for me 
      E7             E7             D                    D          A 
And I never knew how pure and cruel pain could feel 'til I lost you

Verse 3
         A 
And I've dug some graves 
         A 
And I've laid with shame 
         A                       A 
And I've cringed when folks have called my name 
   D               D 
And who I am ain't who I been 
  D             D 
I ran away when I could stand 
        E7 
And I'm never fine 
    E7 
And hope is blind 
    D                    D         A 
And you're still keeping me alive
