Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E minorEm

Verse 1:
          G+G
For eight days in a row now,
         E minorEm
I've stood by my window.
         D MajorD
They're coming, I know that
          E minorEm
they're coming for me.
     G+G
I loved a woman,
        E minorEm
but she wasn't human.
        D MajorD
And there's no use in
         E minorEm
trying to make 'em see.

Chorus:
        G+G
White ash and black ash,
        E minorEm
a sharp edge, a strong back.
      D MajorD
I've been a bad man,
         E minorEm
and them are the facts.
         G+G
Got an old leather bible
       E minorEm
and a buffalo rifle.
        D MajorD
There won't be a trial,
     E minorEm
and I know that.
N.C.

Verse 2:
      G+G
Down by the water,
       E minorEm
I caught me an otter.
       D MajorD
And after I shot it,
      E minorEm
I boiled it down.
      G+G
Hiding for rope,
      E minorEm
tallow for soap,
           D MajorD
Put the rest in a pot and
     E minorEm
stir it around.

Chorus:
        G+G
White ash and black ash,
        E minorEm
a sharp edge, a strong back.
      D MajorD
I've been a bad man,
         E minorEm
and them are the facts.
         G+G
Got an old leather bible
       E minorEm
and a buffalo rifle.
        D MajorD
There won't be a trial,
     E minorEm
and I know that.
