"I Killed Sally's Lover" - The Avett Brothers
Standard tuning
I love this song, it's a blast to play. i'm not sure how to play the intro lick (sorry) but i
think these chords should be accurate
the whole song is just G C G D
G
Somebody get my shotgun
C
Somebody get my blade
G
Sally's been layin' with another man
D G
And he's sleeping in my place
G
Somebody get my shotgun
C
Gonna shoot him sure as rain
G
You can run as fast as you want to boy
D G
I'll kill you just the same
G
Somebody get my pocket blade
C
Gonna cut him don't you know
G
You can try to hide all you want to boy
D G
There ain't nowhere to go
G
Somebody get my shotgun
C
Somebody get my blade
G
Sally's been layin' with another man
D G
And he's sleeping in my place
G C G D G
G
Now Sally don't go thinkin'
C
That you got off so clean
G
I'd kill you too if I had the nerve
D G
But I just ain't that mean
G
So I go and get my murder tools
C
I throw them in the lake
G
Gonna steal me an automobile
D G
And drive so far away
G
Now I am a fugitive
C
I'm always on the run
G
Sally told the policeman
D G
Exactly what I'd done
G
I went and got my shotgun
C
I went and got my blade
G
Killed poor Sally's lover
D G
And I put him in the grave.
G C G D G
G
Now all you ramblin' fellas
C
You listen close to me
G
That woman gonna bring you pain
D G
Your heart is gonna bleed
G
But it ain't worth the trouble
C
The sufferin' or the grief
G D G
A bleeding heart is better than the penitentiary
G
I killed Sally's lover
C
One dark and dreary day
G
Sally got another
D G
And I got sent away
G
Somebody get my shotgun
C
Somebody get my blade
G
Sally's been laying with another man
D G
And I set him in his grave
