D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4
[Verse 1]
D Dsus4 D Bm C G D Dsus4
Now Matthew was a country boy until one day he found
D Dsus4 D Bm C G D Dsus4
That cheatin' folks was easier than plowin' his daddy's ground
D Dsus4 D Bm C G D Dsus4
He left his home back in Ohio, bound for Chicago's town
D Dsus4 Bm
He crossed Big Jim and turned his back
G C G
A bullet cut him down
[Interlude]
G F# G G# (on the bass strinng)
[Chorus]
A G F#m G
And as he lay there dying
Bm E
He said "Will I see my Ohio?"
G F#m Em D
In my reply I lied a bit
C G D Dsus4
And said I did not know
[Verse 2]
D Dsus4 D Bm
Now Jim McCall he was meek and small
C G D Dsus4
And to become a man
D Dsus4 D Bm
He'd have to build himself up tall
C G D Dsus4
With fancy folks and land
D Dsus4 D Bm
He threw some stones at honest friends
C G D Dsus4
And he got himself these things
D Dsus4 D Bm
His children left him and he sneered
G C G
"That's what my kindness brings"
[Interlude]

And on the south side he got lost

He asked me where to go

In my reply I lied a bit

And said I did not know
[Bridge]
A G F#m G
Yes Miss Lazy Susan called me up
Bm E
She heard I stole the show
[Chorus]
G F#m Em D
In my reply I lied a bit
C G D Dsus4
And said I did not know

In my reply I lied a bit and said I did not know
