G5                              C5
There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin' on the floor
G5                            D5
And she's not sure that he's breathin' anymore
G5                                     C5
Now she's sittin on the corner of her bed in her room
G5                      D5
Sirens blarin' they'll be there soon
              G5                            C5
And now she's cryin' with her head in her hands
D5                         G5
Talkin' so fast that they don't understand
        G5                        C5
Said he hit her that morning, he hit her that night
    D5                       G5
But all she remembers was a flashin' light


Chorus:
         G5                   C5
But he's never gonna hit her again
      G5                  D5
He's never gonna hit her again
        G5                 C5
You can be real sure of a one thing friend
      D5                  G5                     
He'll never ever hit her again

(Solo)


Well he caught her with a quick right cross
And didn't know the line he'd crossed
Now there's blood in her hair and blood on her clothes
Blood still runnin' from her nose

Well she went and found a box of shells
Gonna send him straight to hell
There were tears on her face when her eyes turned black
Never knew a twelve gauge could kick like that


Chorus

There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin' on the floor
And she's not sure that he's breathin' anymore
Well they put her in the cop car took her downtown
All of the neighbors standing around

And now she's cryin' with her head in her hands
Talkin' so fast that they don't understand
Said he hit her that morning, he hit her that night
But all she remembers was a flashin' light

Chorus
