[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C Dm Dm
I killed a man last night,
C Dm
gave him what he deserved
Dug a midnight grave,
C Dm
and I put him in that dirt
I woke up this morning,
C Dm
my conscience fully clear
C Dm
Felt closer to Jesus than I ever had in years
[Chorus]
F
He can't hurt the ones I love,
C
he can't break no angel's heart
Gm Bb
He can't take that whiskey bottle and tear my world apart
F
He can't stand there in the mirror,
C
he can't tell me no more lies
Gm
Yeah, I killed a man,
Bb Dm
I killed a man last night
[Verse 2]
Dm
Lord knows he had it comin',
C Dm
his sins were adding up
But when he drove that girl away,
C Dm
I finally had enough
I coulda pled the fifth,
C Dm
but I poured it down the drain
Said that sinner's prayer,
C Dm
and I sent him on his way
[Chorus]
C/E F
Now he can't hurt the ones I love,
C
he can't break no angel's heart
Gm Bb
He can't take that whiskey bottle and tear my world apart
F
He can't stand there in the mirror,
C
he can't tell me no more lies
Gm
Yeah, I killed a man,
Bb Dm F
I killed a man last night
[Post-Chorus]

[Bridge]
C Gm
Wish it didn't take this long
C Gm
But now he's finally gone
[Chorus]
F
Now he can't hurt the ones I love,
C
he can't break no angel's heart
Gm Bb
He can't take that whiskey bottle and tear my world apart
F
He can't stand there in the mirror,
C
he can't tell me no more lies
Gm F/A Bb
He's gone for good this time, I killed a man,
C Dm
I killed a man last night
[Outro]
C
I killed a man,
Dm
I killed a man last night
C Dm
Oh
C Dm
I killed a man, I killed a man last night,
C Dm
mmm
