G                       C            D      G 
Judy, I feel weary now, older than a man of 33 
G                                    C            D               G 
The gates of Hell just opened, after 20 years the warden says I'm free 
D 
Revenge was all I wanted 
       C                   D                   G 
When I killed the man that took your life that day 
     G                            C 
I've had my satisfaction, but the price was more  
     D                   G 
Than love should have to pay 
  
Chorus: 
D                                                   
Lord knows you weren't no lady 
        C             D                G 
And the witnesses all swore you was to blame 
        D 
And the way you teased the menfolk 
    C                           G              D 
The jury all agreed you knew no shame, knew no shame 
  
Well I'm glad that you can't see me now 

You'd probably say I do not look my best 

Those lawyers took my money 

And that Louisiana road gang took the rest 
  

D                             C               D          G 
And Judy I can't even conjure up your picture in my mind today 
G                                C             D            G 
Lately I've been thinkin' what a fool I was to love you anyway 
  
Well it all seems kind of useless 
As I place these flowers on your grave today 
I don't know what I'm doing here 
I've forgotten all the things I came to say
