A G D A D Am D C Am


[Verse 1]
   Am             D
It happened in an open field
G          D
Down in a southern state
    Am               D
And no one knows the reason why
G                   D
Some would say it's hate
Am                    D
They shot the guy who sold the dogs
   G             D
It came as some surprise
Am             F
And to a lady standing there
        C              D
Brought sadness to her eyes


[Chorus]
Am                         G
She's a rock and roll widow
D      Am      G
Living in this town
Am         D
Another rock and roll widow
C                     A
Since they gunned him down


[Verse 2]
Am                    D
The heat of day still hung around
    G             D
As night began to fall
     Am              D
The sheriff came up from the town
    G             D
In answer to the call
Am               D
The band played on in darkness
    G               D
Not knowing what to do
C  Am                      F
As people ran from side to side
C                  D
Just looking for a clue


[Chorus]
Am                         G
She's a rock and roll widow
D      Am      G
Living in this town
Am         D
Another rock and roll widow
C                     A
Since they gunned him down
