Intro:

Verse:
A
Well, I don't know what my uncle did but he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one Saturday night 
       D
He had spent his whole life fussin« would have spent his last breath cussin'
        A            Ab       G      Fis
«Til he realized the deal was really done
           B                                E                            A Cis D Eb E
He started screamin' "hallelujah" tryin' to make his peace with everyone

Chrous:
             D                                       A
Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin' just like he came in
   Bb  B                                                 E   F E  Eb
He was kickin' and screamin', darlin' right to the bitter end
D                                                                  A     Ab G Fis
Ain't it funny how he come in kickin' giddyup and go out hollerin' whoa
         B                     E                       A  Cis D Eb A
Lord, we never want to be here sure don't ever want to go

Verse:
              A                                     A
Well, I could hear those church bells ringin' To my best friend I was clingin'
                  A
Screamin' "If you love me brother don't let me go"
               D
Well, then the whole scene was repeated two years later I begged and pleaded
           A           Ab           G                   Fis
Screamin' "If you love me, honey, now you know you wouldn't want to let me go"
      B                          E                              A      Cis D Eb A Eb E
No, I didn't want to do it but I sure don't want to see it come undone
