Capo 2

          Am
There was crying in the kitchen, there was running in the hall 
Am                        C
Daddy's Winchester wasn't hanging on the wall 
    G                             F
And it didn't seem like Christmas very much at all 
Am
Mama set me to chopping wood before the snow 
         Am                                  C
She said daddy's gone to Richmond and that's all you need to know 
       G                                   F
I said I want to know why Carla's got that blood on her clothes 


Am         F           Am            F
Carla came home in the middle of the night 
Am         F      D  
Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes 
C          G             F
Carla came home, but not just for Christmas time 


Carla met tom walker daddy said he ain't no count 
He'd grab his gun and go hunting when she'd bring him to the house 
Something tells me tom walker is out of the picture now 


Chorus 

They quit searching for my brother in law 
Gave him a week then they called in the dogs 
They won't nobody miss him except maybe his maw 


Chorus
