[Verse 1]
It was as [C]open- [F]and- shut as any[Dm]thing I have seen
[F]He was [Dm]a pillar of [F]town,
his reputa[Dm]tion was [F]clean
It was [Dm]right before [Am]Easter in [C]the first
week [Am]of spring[C][Am]
He didn't [C]show up for ser[F]vice
that [Dm]Wednesday [F]night
The [Dm]congrega[F]tion knew
[Dm]something weren't [F]right
[Dm]Blood on the [Am]bed when they
[C]opened [Am]the door
The preacher was dead on

[Verse 2]
the bedroom floor
[Am]Every[C]one [F]knew there had [Dm]to be some out
[F]side [Dm]thing that [F]made this happen
[Dm]Beca[F]use th[Dm]ey seemed[Am]
[C]like [Am]the p[C]erfect fam[Am]ily

[Verse 3]
He'd been [Am]shot in the [F]back a
day be[Dm]fore he was [F]found
His [Dm]wife and three [F]kids were
[Dm]nowhere [F]around
An [Dm]Amber Aler[Am]t was
issued in town
[C]Everyone [F]was shocked at
[Dm]the scene of [F]the crime
She'd [Dm]taken [F]the kids across
[Dm]two state [F]lines
[Dm]Found her in Or[Am]ange Beach
with the [C]kids in the [Am]car
Sent back to Selma to [C]await her tri
[Am]al for first- de[C]gree murder
[F][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[C]Was she [F]crazy or
[Dm]just plain old [F]mean [Dm]to have go[F]ne and d[Dm]one it[F]?
She said [Dm]she heard t[Am]he bang and was [C]afraid he'd be m[Am]ad,
and [C]made a [Am]run for i[C]t
[Am]Said, they were

[Verse 5]
[C]having a fight
[F]and the gun[Dm] was a bluff
[F]She didn't pul[Dm]l the trigger[F],
it [Dm]just went [F]off
[Dm]Said that he be[Am]rated her
about everything
[C]Make her [Am]do things that made
her feel so ashamed
[C]Nobody at [F]church would [Dm]ever suspect
[F]Made her[Dm] dress up[F]
slutty be[Dm]fore they had [F]sex
In the [Dm]courtroom that [Am]day there was
an [C]audible [Am]gasp
[C]What they [Am]put up on [C]display the loca[Am]ls could
[C]n't quite [F]grasp
[Dm][F][Dm][F]

[Verse 6]
[Dm][F]
There was an [Dm]audible [Am]gasp in
[C]the courtroom that [Am]day
[C]When the [Am]defense pulled
[C]out and dis[Am]played

[Verse 7]
[C]Them hig[F]h- heeled sho[Dm]es and that
[F]wig he [Dm]made her [F]wear[Dm][F]
[Dm]Redu[Am]ced her char[C]ge to vo[Am]luntary
[C]man[Am]slaughter[C][Am]
And [C]I ain't [F]judging [Dm]either way,
[F]but[Dm] she's alr[F]eady out[Dm] of jail
[F]And it [Dm]was them high[Am]- heeled shoes[C] and that wig [Am]he made [C]her wear[Am]
