GSweat (320003@1)on his neck in the summer heat
                       AmKissin' (x02210@1)the preacher's daughter

AmHeadlights (x02210@1)flashing in their eyes
    CThe (x32010@1)shadow of a face they recognized
   GA (320003@1)single shot split the night
                   AmFootsteps (x02210@1)in muddy water

G (320003@1)                  FAnd (133211@1)the sun came up like the day before

AmOne-eyed (x02210@1)woman with her tarot cards
         CSaid (x32010@1)she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far
    GThe (320003@1)devil's a liar and he drives a car
                       AmSomewhere (x02210@1)in Catahoula County

         G (320003@1)                      FAnd (133211@1)the search dogs barked on the day they laid

AmBlue (x02210@1)lights flashin' on the riverbank
     CThey (x32010@1)held their breath as they dragged the chains
GHearts (320003@1)all sank when her beautiful face
                   Am (x02210@1)Came up out of the water

AmThrough (x02210@1)her tangled hair they could see
CShe (x32010@1)was missing one earring
