[Verse 1]
Am                  Am7
John came home from war this morning
             Dsus2
He found his wife, she wasn't there
C
C/B      Am                     Am7
   And a cold cold feeling crept   through his bones
                Dsus2                           C C/B
When he found a note at the bottom of the stairs
             Am
Said, I'm in love with your brother,
        Am7
oh I've found a preacher
           Dsus2                             C C/B
And I'm in love and I'm heading for the South
Am
  Boy you were fine,
        Am7
but I've   changed my mind
    Dsus2                              C C/B Am
I'm boarding the next train out of town

[Verse 2]
Am                   Am7
John flew into a rage   like thunder
                   Dsus2                        C    C/B
He brought his fist     down and he cracked the floor
   Am
He thought he broke bone
          Am7
The way he   screamed and he roared
       Dsus2                     C   C/B
And he headed right back out the door
                   Am
Said, I'm going to find my brother
        Am7
God damn   this preacher,
             Dsus2                 C    C/B
I'm going to put  him underneath a stone
            Am                            Am7
So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feel small
          Dsus2                       C C/B Am
They'll remember the wrath of my storm

[Verse 3]
Am                         Am7
John crashed in with his pistol crying
          Dsus2                    C C/B
In the morning just before the dawn
   Am
He took out his knife
             Am7
And he carved   out the light
     Dsus2                     C   C/B
Of a future in the eyes of the Lord
Am
Strung him up high
      Am7
Silhouetted in the sky
          Dsus2                    C C/B
Let the ravens pick him to the bone
         Am
When the law man came by
         Am7
He turned   down his eyes
       Dsus2                        C C/B
Not to gaze upon the brother of John

[Verse 4]
D C Am/E
Am    Am                   Am7
  The station platform was empty and quiet
          Dsus2                         C C/B
As she waited for a man who'd never show
         Am                       Am7
When the noon day sun was high and   cracking the ground
    Dsus2                   C     C/B
She felt a lump rise in her throat
     Am
John swept from behind
      Am7
Put a gun on her side
      Dsus2                    C   C/B
Said, Baby you were why I came home
  Am
I won't take your life
              Am7
But I want to look into your eyes
         Dsus2                          C   C/B Am
When you see  I killed the man that you love
