D5 
I know you'll excuse me if I say goodnight 
     G5     D5             A5     
I've got a promise to fulfill 
B5                            D5 
Thank you for listening to my troubles 
       G5                       D5 
Pardon me, I've got someone to kill 
 

D5 
I warned him not to try and take her from me 
   G5                 D5                         A5  
He laughed and said if I can I will you know I will 
     B5                               D5  
So tonight when they get home I'll be waiting 
       G5                       D5 
Pardon me, I've got someone to kill 
 

A5                                   D5   
I know I'll surely die for what I'm about to do 
             G5            D5           A5   
But it don't matter I'm a dead man anyhow 
     B5                          D5        
This gun will buy back the pride they took from me 
    G5             D5                    A5 
And also end this life of mine, that's worthless now 
 

       D5                                              
By the time you tell the sheriff, it'll all be over 
      G5                D5                A5 
He'll find me at their big house on the hill 
      B5                         D5 
He'll find a note explaining why I killed us all 
    G5                                    D5 
Now it's time to go, I've got someone to kill
