Intro

Am   Am   Am    Dm
Am   Am    Dm    Cm  Cm/B


Am                 D7sus2
John came home from war this morning
             Dm                   C  C/B
He found his wife, she wasn't there
Am                        D7sus2
And a cold cold feeling crept through his bones
                Dm                            C  C/B
When he found a note at the bottom of the stairs
              Am                             D7sus2
Said, "I'm in love with your brother, oh I've found a preacher
           Dm                               C  C/B
And I'm in love and I'm heading for the South
Am                       D7sus2
Boy you were fine, but I've changed my mind
    Dm                                  C  C/B
I'm boarding the next train out of town"

Instrumental
Am   Am   Am    Dm

Am              D7sus2
John flew into a rage like thunder
               Dm                              C  C/B
He brought his fist down and he cracked the floor
    Am
He thought he broke bone
            D7sus2
The way he screamed and he roared
        Dm                         C  C/B
And he headed right back out the door
       Am
Said, "I'm going to find my brother
   D7sus2                            Dm                        C  C/B
God damn this preacher, I'm going to put him underneath a stone
  Am                                  D7sus2
So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feel small
 Dm                                  C  C/B
They'll remember the wrath of my storm"

Instrumental
Am   Am   Am    Dm

Am                       D7sus2
John crashed in with his pistol crying
       Dm                        C  C/B
In the morning just before the dawn
    Am
He took out his knife
       D7sus2
And he carved out the light
     Dm                        C  C/B
Of a future in the eyes of the Lord
Am
Strung him up high
 D7sus2
Silhouetted in the sky
        Dm                        C  C/B
Let the ravens pick him to the bone
Am
When the law man came by
   D7sus2
He turned down his eyes
       Dm                        C  C/B
Not to gaze upon the brother of John

Instrumental
Am   Am   Am    Dm


Am                      D7sus2
The station platform was empty and quiet
        Dm                            C  C/B
As she waited for a man who'd never show
         Am                        D7sus2
When the noon day sun was high and cracking the ground
     Dm                        C  C/B
She felt a lump rise in her throat
Am
John swept from behind
     D7sus2
Put a gun on her side
       Dm                        C  C/B
Said, "Baby you were why I came home
Am
I won't take your life
             D7sus2
But I want to look into your eyes
         Dm                             C  C/B
When you see I killed the man that you love"
