"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
