D 
I know you'll excuse me if I say goodnight 
     G     D             A     
I've got a promise to fulfill 
Bm                            D 
Thank you for listening to my troubles 
       G                       D 
Pardon me, I've got someone to kill 
 
D 
I warned him not to try and take her from me 
   G                 D                         A  
He laughed and said if I can I will you know I will 
     Bm                               D  
So tonight when they get home I'll be waiting 
       G                       D 
Pardon me, I've got someone to kill 
 
A                                   D   
I know I'll surely die for what I'm about to do 
             G            D           A   
But it don't matter I'm a dead man anyhow 
     Bm                          D        
This gun will buy back the pride they took from me 
    G             D                    A 
And also end this life of mine, that's worthless now 
 
       D                                              
By the time you tell the sheriff, it'll all be over 
      G                D                A 
He'll find me at their big house on the hill 
      Bm                         D 
He'll find a note explaining why I killed us all 
    G                                    D 
Now it's time to go, I've got someone to kill
