Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: F

[Intro]
Dm
 
[Verse 1]
 
Dm
Underneath that Stetson hat
Beside the bed, yeah under that
A
There is a letter I addressed
To that woman, I undressed her
F
Every night and every day
I wanted her so many ways
C
And now I've gone and done a thing
                    Dm
That I cannot erase
 
Dm
Now she's gonna have to read it
If only I could just delete it
A
Take it back, oh god, undo it
She'll find to many ways to misconstrue it
F
But truths are truths and I can't lie
'Cause that's no way to live a life
C
And now I have to tell her things
                    Dm
That I cannot erase
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Down at The Cross
C
Out in the street
Dm
I shot somebody
A
She loved more than me
F                      C
I saw red and now he's dead
           Dm
And I must flee
 
Dm
Oh, I never meant to hurt you
Take your love and desert you
A
Baby, I was always kind
But that don't mean that I was blind
F
See I knew you'd been untrue
I guess that just makes me a fool
C
For the mess we were in
                     Dm
I could not walk away
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm
So I took me to the Fifty Fifty
Drank myself into a beast
A
He came in all looking shifty
Knew exactly where he'd been
F
If he weren't so goddamn polite
He'd have probably made it through the night
C                                                Dm
But I'd already half a mind to put him in his place
 
Dm
It started as a conversation
I would not want overheard
A
And so I asked if he would join me
Outside for a quiet word
F
And when I had him all alone
How strangely I was overcome
C
I swear I did not mean to do
                          Dm
The thing that I have done
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Down at The Cross
C
Out in the street
Dm
I shot somebody
A
She loved more than me
F                      C
I saw red and now he's dead
           Dm
And I must flee
 
[Solo]

F
C Dm
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dm
So, underneath that Stetson hat
Beside the bed, yeah under that
A
There is a letter I addressed
But darlin' words cannot express
F
Oh, every night and every day
I try to find the words to say
C
And so I never wrote it down
                   Dm
The thing I can't erase
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Down at The Cross
C
Out in the street
Dm
I shot somebody
A
She loved more than me
F                      C
I saw red and now he's dead
           Dm
And I must flee
 
F
Down at The Cross
C
Out in the street
Dm
I shot somebody
A
She loved more than me
F                      C
I saw red and now he's dead
           Dm
And I must flee
F                      C
I saw red and now he's dead
           Dm
And I must flee
