This is the live version from 'In The Dark.' Hopefully everything ends up in the right 
once I submit it...

Verse:

A
Cutest girl I ever saw, did I love her?
     Dm                              A
Then why'd I go and do something so cruel?
   Dm                                    A   Dm
I married her on that summer day, did I love her?
     A                      E                A
Well she said 'yes' so she must have been a fool.

A
On our honeymoon night, instead of making sweet love
  Dm                                      A
I sat her down and confessed my true history.
         Dm                                             A         Dm
I said, 'Baby, I love you and I hope you know you're a gift from above,
       A                         E            A
But I killed twenty men and the devil's after me.


Pre-Chorus:

     E                                                 Dm          A
Well she said that's okay, I don't care dear, cause I love you anyways.
        E                                           Dm             A
Honey a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do so be strong, and be brave.
          Cm                 E
Well I'll try, you know I'll try.


Chorus:

     A                E        Dm             A
And God said, 'It is good, and man and woman should,
       A           E                 Dm           A
Become one and be fruitful. Well we would, if we could,
           A                E        Dm          A
But we're running from the law and living in a shack,
     A                 E          Dm                 A
And I'm gonna burn in hell for corrupting my better half.


Alright, those are the chord progressions for the different parts of the song. I'll put 
lyrics for the next two verses up since you can't find the lyrics for this anywhere online.

Verse 2:
Cruisin' down the highway going 95.
We're robbing convenience stores and trying to stay alive.
I'm sorry I killed that man back there can you ever forgive me,
For bringing you into my life when I should've let you be.

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Then he does a little 'solo,' which is just playing through the verse chords once. If 
lift your finger off the 2nd string in the A chord and the first string the Dm chord every 
and a while it sounds sort of like what he does.

Verse 3:
Well the cops found our hideout and they shot her.
Why'd they go and do something so cruel.
She died in my arms I had to leave her.
I'm sorry my love for being such a fool.

Pre-Chorus
Final Chorus Lyrics:
And God said, 'It is good, and man and woman should
Become one and be fruitful.' Well I would, if I could.
But I'm running from the law and the cops shot down my shack.
And I'm gonna burn in hell for corrupting my better half...
I'm gonna burn in hell for corrupting my better half...
I'm gonna burn in hell for killing my better half.


And that should be it. If I forgot anything, you can probably figure it out for 
If I can tab this, anyone can.
