[D] An' when he got to drinkin' that way
[Am] he liked to smack his Suzie around
But [F] late last Friday night [G] Lord
[Am] I guess she couldn't take no more
And when the [F] cops came to investigate the sound
She just [E7] pointed out the back door

[D] When the police asked her what happened
[Am] Suzie said she didn"t have a clue
[D] She said he took his pistol to give it a clean,
[Am] and that's all she knew
[F] OH she cried tears that were [G] so sincere
[Am] 'til she was out of breath
while the [F] chief detective was writin' in his notebook
[E7] "accidental death"
[Am] [Am] [Am] [Am] [G] [D]

[Am] better heed these words my son
[D] Cause there's a whole lotta pretty women
[Am] gettin' pretty good with a gun
[F] OH you might think you got her [G] under control
[Am] You just might be surprised
[F] When your pretty little woman puts a 45 hole
[E7] right between your eyes!
