      G (320003@1)                                               DBut (xx0232@1)he swaggered by and said "The boys said to tell you hey"
          AmAnd (x02210@1)I was kicked back in his easy chair
CHolding (x32010@1)a fifth tapping the barrel
           G (320003@1)                             DOf (xx0232@1)a fresh cleaned steel blue polished up .38
FAnd (133211@1)I was kind of hoping he'd at least look scared
But all he said was "Okay, she was good and you don't dare"

          FAnd (133211@1)she's holding whiskey and a gun

Am (x02210@1)    
Well the sun shines gray in the prison yard
CLife (x32010@1)to go was going hard
          G (320003@1)                            DWhen (xx0232@1)the warden started getting sweet on me
       AmAnd (x02210@1)he drug me to his room one night
    CAnd (x32010@1)poured me some 'skey gave me a light
    G (320003@1)                                  DAnd (xx0232@1)I smoked slow and waited 'til he was done
    FAnd (133211@1)I thought that was that 'til he got rough and I fought back
And when I grabbed his pistol he laughed and said
"Girl you ain't got the guts"
