[Verse 1]
[Gsus2]The night was hot and steamy[G][Gsus2]
and [D]crickets sang their [Gsus2]tune
[G]Every[Gsus2]one was sleep[G][Gsus2]
ing [D]un [A]der an august [D]moon
[C]Except one man that [Gsus2]sat
awake slowly going [D]mad
Re[G]gretting [Gsus2]that he'd thrown
away the [D]only love he had
[Gsus2]

[Verse 2]
[G]A slave [Gsus2]to the bo[G]ttle[Gsus2]
he'd [D]driven his family [Gsus2]to leave
[G]A wife a[Gsus2]nd two daughters
he'd [A]treated so terribly
[G]Dru[D]nk [C]with grief and lo[Gsus2]neliness
he wasn't thinking [D]straight
He [G]knew he [Gsus2]could n't live unless
they [D]pardoned his [Gsus2]mistakes

[Verse 3]
[Gsus2]
He [G]went in[Gsus2]to the city to try[D]
to make amend[Gsus2]s
[G]Asked his [Gsus2]love for pity[G] but[Gsus2]
[A]she would not [D]give in
[C]Overwhelmed with [Gsus2]sad
ness he reached for [D]his gun
And [G]took her [Gsus2]life along with his
[D]be fore the morning [Gsus2]sun

[Verse 4]
[G]Now they [Gsus2]are lying[G] in th[Gsus2]e cold,[G][Gsus2][D]
cold [Gsus2]earth[G][Gsus2]
[G]Such a sad, sad [G]story [D]such a sad, sad world
