Looking back now I probably should've let it ride...
Am C G Am C G
[Verse]
He sAmmelled like gin with a hint of her
CUp 'til then I wasn't sure
G D .....
But he swaggered by and said "The boys said to tell you hi"
And I was Amkicked back in his easy chair
CHolding a fifth tapping the barrel of a
frGesh cleaned steel blue polished up .3D8
FAnd 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"
[Chorus]
CLooking back now I Gprobably should've let him AmrideF
CPaybacks are Ghell where I come AmfroFm
And any Cfool should know
You don't Glook a woman in the Ameye and smile
When Fshe knows what you've Ddone
And she's Fholding whiskey and a gun
Am C G Am C G
[Verse]
Well the Amsun shines gray in the prison yard
CLife to go was going hard
When the wGarden started, getting sweet on Dme
And he Amdrug me to his room one night
pourCed me some sweet, gave me a light
And GI smoked slow and waited 'til he was dDone
And FI 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"
[Chorus]
CLooking back now I Gprobably should've let him rAmide F
CPaybacks are Ghell where I come frAmom F
And any Cfool should know
You don't Glook a woman in the Ameye and smile
When she knows what you've dDone
And she's Fholding whiskey and a gun
[Hook]

Cda dada daGda dada da Amda F
[Verse]
They're Amstrapping me down and I'm scared to die
Now I Cain't the kind of girl to cry
G D ...
But I find myself begging God for mercy
My Amhands are cold as I start to slip
CSodium theopenthol drips
G D ........
The room goes black and I wonder if He heard me
[Chorus]
(Arpeg to second Am then resume)
CLooking back now I Gprobably should've let him riAmde F
C G Am! F F F F
I bet paybacks are hell where I'm, go ooo oing
And any Cfool should know
You don't Glook a woman in the Ameye and smile
When Fshe knows what you've Ddone
And she's Fhold'''ing whiskey and a gCun
Cda dada dGada dada Amda WFhiskey and a gCun
Cla dada dGada dada Amda F
