Shovels & Rope - Botched execution

^AmThey botched my execution back in 1996 I climbed ^Dmout of a window and I hopped over the fence Had to ^Amdig myself a tunnel, put my feet on the cement And started ^Emrunning, running, running, ain't nobody seen me since And now I've ^Amgot to find a friend, someone to tell I didn't do it But now my ^Dmpicture's in the paper, there's no way that I can prove it And the ^Ambody's in the closet 'cause I never got to move it Now the ^Eneighbor kids are talking, saying, "Everybody knew it"

^AmAh ah ^DmAh ah ^GAll my little seeds have ^Cgroo-o-^Eown ^AmAh ah ^DmAh ah ^GSooner later come back ^Choo-o-^Eome Ah-^Amah ah-^Fah ...^AmOh

^AmLeave a trail of crumbs, a lure for them to bite on ^DmIn a Motel 6, thank God nobody left the light on ^AmDressed myself in women's clothing and a wig that I had tried on Tried to ^Ecleanse myself of all those alibis I'd relied on ^AmAnd now I'm lying on my back, looking at the ceiling When ^Dmsuddenly I am distracted by that old familiar feeling With the ^Amtable and the devil and the cards that he was dealing I was ^Esure enough a slave and some poor soul I would be stealing tonight

Well, ^Amhitched my skirt, climbed up the car on the railroad ^DmFound myself a-gazing down the barrel at a crossroad ^AmHide out in the circus, rob a bank, hit the payload Or ^Ewait out in the darkness with the freaks and kinda lay low A ^Amstorm had downed a power line, laying on the trainway ^DmStanding in a puddle, felt a shock and in a ditch lay ^AmIn my final moments I could hear the lucky judge say "Well, I ^Eguess the execution went as scheduled anyway"
