INTRO: (x3) Cadd9 / Am G7sus4 / Cadd2

^Cadd9Grandpa, here's your ^Amcoffee, ^Cadd9Said Edith, as she filled ^Amhis cup. ^Cadd9Nobody'll find you ^Amhere, ^G7sus4And Earl is glad you guys ^Cadd2showed up.

^Cadd9The way things are ^Amdowntown, ^Cadd9You might have to stay for ^Ama while, ^Cadd9There was a helicopter hovering over ^Amyour house ^G7sus4When I talked to your neighbor ^Cadd2Kyle.

^Cadd9Who the hell do they think they ^Amare, ^Cadd9Invading our home like ^Amthat? ^Cadd9Grandma and I had to leave so ^Amfast, ^G7sus4We couldn't even catch the ^Cadd2cat.

^Cadd9The helicopter scared the shit out ^Amof him, ^Cadd9And it took off down the ^Amtrail, ^Cadd9Down past the railroad ^Amtrack, ^G7sus4Towards the county ^Cadd2jail.

BRIDGE 1: Cadd9 / Am (x3) G7sus4 / Cadd2

^Cadd9Jed, you really screwed up ^Amnow! ^Cadd9What did you have to do that ^Amfor? ^Cadd9Everybody wants to hang your ^Amass, ^G7sus4And here's a note from ^Cadd2Lenore.

^Cadd9Sun touched the cold ^Amsteel bars ^Cadd9As she pushed the paper ^Amin. ^Cadd9Jed took it up and read ^Amit ^G7sus4And he couldn't hide a ^Cadd2grin.

^Cadd9Outside the jail ^Amwindow ^Cadd9A crow flew across ^Amthe sky, ^Cadd9Completely disappearing behind ^Ameach bar, ^G7sus4Then a helicopter flew ^Cadd2by.

^Cadd9Say hi to Earl and Edith.^Am ^Cadd9Tell 'em I'm doing fine. ^Am ^Cadd9Tell 'em you're ready to ^Amleave home now, ^G7sus4They should cut the ^Cadd2line.

^Cadd9Can Grandma come and see ^Amme? ^Cadd9I got a new song to ^Amsing ^Cadd9It's longer than all the others ^Amcombined ^G7sus4And it doesn't mean a ^Cadd2thing.

BRIDGE 2: (x2) Cadd9 / Am G7sus4 / Cadd2

^Cadd9The noise was un^Amfamiliar, ^Cadd9Walkie-talkies sq^Amuelled, ^Cadd9Generators were ^Amrunning, ^G7sus4Vans parked in the ^Cadd2field.

^Cadd9TV crews and cam^Ameras, ^Cadd9They wanted to interview Grandpa ^Amon the porch. ^Cadd9They came through the gate and up ^Amon the lawn ^G7sus4Knocking down Edith's ^Cadd2Tiki Torch.

^Cadd9And Grandpa saw them ^Amthere, ^Cadd9Looking through the venet^Amian blind. ^Cadd9Those people don't have any ^Amrespect, ^G7sus4So they won't get any of ^Cadd2mine.

^Cadd9I ain't wanna talk about ^AmJed. ^Cadd9I don't watch channel 2 or 6 or ^Am9. ^Cadd9I don't have time to talk that ^Amfast, ^G7sus4And it ain't my ^Cadd2crime.

^Cadd9It ain't an honor to be on ^AmTV ^Cadd9And it ain't a duty ei^Amther. ^Cadd9The only good thing about ^AmTV ^G7sus4Is shows like 'Leave it to ^Cadd2Beaver'.

^Cadd9Shows with love and ^Amaffection, ^Cadd9Like Mama used to ^Amsay. ^Cadd9A little Mayberry ^Amliving ^G7sus4Could go a long ^Cadd2way.

^Cadd9He took Earl's gun down from the ^Amcloset, ^Cadd9Loaded up both barrels.^Am ^Cadd9Went out on the porch and fired ^Am'em off, ^G7sus4And up walked a woman named ^Cadd2Carol.

^Cadd9Susan Carol from Early ^AmMagazine, ^Cadd9I got some questions to ^Amask. ^Cadd9Well you can stick 'em where the sun ^Amdon't shine! ^G7sus4Grandpa said with a ^Cadd2gasp.

^Cadd9Then he fell face first and let out ^Ama sigh, ^Cadd9Edith came out in ^Amshock. ^Cadd9Grandpa was whispering to her from down ^Amon the floor, ^G7sus4he looked like he was trying to ^Cadd2talk.

^Cadd9That guy just keeps ^Amsingin'! ^Cadd9Can somebody shut him ^Amup? ^Cadd9I don't know for the life ^Amof me ^G7sus4Where he comes up with this ^Cadd2stuff.

BRIDGE 3: (x3) Cadd9 / Am G7sus4 / Cadd2

^Cadd9They laid his head on a ^Amnewspaper ^Cadd9With a picture of Carmichael on the ^Amfront page, ^Cadd9Posing with the little league ^Ambaseball team, ^G7sus4And a seedy shot of Jed with ^Cadd2a motorcycle.

^Cadd9Grandpa died like a ^Amhero, ^Cadd9Fighting for freedom of ^Amsilence, ^Cadd9Trying to stop the ^Ammedia, ^G7sus4Trying to be anon^Cadd2ymous.

BRIDGE 4: (x2) Cadd9 / Am G7sus4 / Cadd2 SOLO

^Cadd9Share your loving and ^Amyou live so long ^Cadd9Share your loving and ^Amyou live so long ^Cadd9Share your loving and ^Amyou live so long ^G7sus4Live so long ^Cadd2
