Revenge
By David Allan Coe
Tabbed By Larry Mofle


G                       C            D      G
Judy, I feel weary now, older than a man of 33
G                                    C            D               G
The gates of Hell just opened, after 20 years the warden says I'm free
D
Revenge was all I wanted
       C                   D                   G
When I killed the man that took your life that day
     G                            C
I've had my satisfaction, but the price was more 
     D                   G
Than love should have to pay
 
Chorus:
D                                                  
Lord knows you weren't no lady
        C             D                G
And the witnesses all swore you was to blame
        D
And the way you teased the menfolk
    C                           G              D
The jury all agreed you knew no shame, knew no shame
 
Well I'm glad that you can't see me now
You'd probably say I do not look my best
Those lawyers took my money
And that Louisiana road gang took the rest
 
D                             C               D          G
And Judy I can't even conjure up your picture in my mind today
G                                C             D            G
Lately I've been thinkin' what a fool I was to love you anyway
 
Well it all seems kind of useless
As I place these flowers on your grave today
I don't know what I'm doing here
I've forgotten all the things I came to say
