VERSE
    GThe (320003@1)call came in,
   CLorraine (x32010@1)shot down,
    AmHer (x02210@1)husband pulled the trigger,
 DThen (xx0232@1)he blew his brains out,
       GAt (320003@1)the other end,
      CThe (x32010@1)police took a call,
     AmThey (x02210@1)didn't believe,
     DThat (xx0232@1)he was dead at all,
         BmAnd (x24432@1)they wouldn't help her and she knew;


VERSE
It had been 20 years since they fell in love,
He's brought a lot of pain,
But now he's brought alot of blood,
And he's taken more than his share,

We can't lose a life,
The police chief said,
There's an armed man in there,
He'd be better off dead
As Lorraine bled from her legs,

INTRO x2


VERSE
Speak to me now,
But all she could say,
Was "I don't want to die like this",
So they sit there on their way,
They never heard,
That she was Lorraine,
So they didn't let her die,
With ever her name,
As she left us all in pain,
