Verse:
A              D
Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
A               E
All through their high school days
A          D
Both members of the 4H club
   A       E A

After graduation Mary Anne went lookin'

Wanda looked all around this town
  A    E     A
And all she found was Earl

Verse:
    A           D
Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married that
A           E
Wanda started gettin' abused
      A        D
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
  A     E    A
And make up to cover a bruise
     A            D
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
  A            E
She let the law take it from there
  A                 D
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
  A      E    A
And put her in intensive care


Pre-chorus:
   F#m         E
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
   D        A
On a red eye midnight flight
  F#m            E
She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan
    D             E
And it didn't take 'em long to decide


Chorus:
         A   D  A  E  D
That Earl had to die     Goodbye Earl

You're feelin' weak   why don’t you lay down and sleep Earl


Verse:
  A        D
The cops came by to bring Earl in
   A              E
They searched the house high and low
     A             D
Then they tipped their hats and said thank you ladies
    A       E   A
If you hear from him let us know
     A         D
Well the weeks went by and spring turned to summer
  A         E
And summer faded into fall
    A         D
And it turns out he was a missing person
   A   E     A
That nobody missed at all


Pre-chorus:
    F#m             E
So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand
    D     A
Out on Highway 109
     F#m        E
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam
     D            E
And they don't lose any sleep at night


Chorus:
         A   D  A  E  D
Cause Earl had to die     Goodbye Earl
     A   D     A     E  D
We need a break. Let's go out to the lake Earl
       A   D      A    E   D
We'll pack a lunch.  Stuff you into the trunk Earl
         A   D      A    E  D     A
Well is that all right.  Good let's go for a ride Earl. Hey!
