F#m

Carolina Drama

Key: AmHard

AmI'm not sure if there's a point to this story

But I'm Cgoing to Btell it aAmgain

AmSo many other people try to tell the tale

CNot one oBf them knAmows the end?.

AmIt was a junk-house in South Carolina

CHeld a boyB the age of teAmn

AmAlong with his older brother Billy

CAnd theirB mother and Amher boyfriend

Who was a Dtriple loser with some blue tattoos

That were gDiven to him when he was young

And a Amdrunk temper that was easy to lose

And thank Cgod he didn'tB own a Emgun Am

AmWell, Billy woke up in the back of his truck

Took a Cminute to Bopen his Ameyes

He took a peep into the back of the house

And found himself a big surprise

DHe didn't see his brother but there was his mother

With her red-headed head in her hands

While the Amboyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old

CPriest trying to Bchoke the Emman Am

CBEmG

AmGF

AmBilly looked up from the window to the truck

Threw Cup, and had to Bstruggle to sAmtand

AmHe saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer

Turn the Cpriest into a Bshell of a Amman

DThe priest was putting up the fight of his life

DBut he was old and he was bound to lose

The Amboyfriend hit as hard as he could

And knocked the Cpriest rightB down to his EmshoesAm

AmWell, now Billy knew but never actually met

The Cpreacher lying Bthere in the Amroom

AmHe heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"

Then he Cknew what he was Ggonna Amdo

DBilly got up enough courage, took it up

DAnd grabbed the first blunt thing he could find

It was a Amcold, glass bottle of milk

That got deClivered every Gmorning at Emnine Am

CBEmG

AmGF

AmBilly broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and

AmHe turned around and put the lock on the door

DmHe looked dead into the boyfriend's eye

His Emother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then

AmHe took a step toward the man on the ground

AmFrom his mouth trickled out a little audible sound

DmHe heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"

And Billy Esaid, "Not till I know what this is all about"

Am"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"

AmBut Billy knew just who was starting the drama

DmSo Billy took dead aim at his face

And smashed theE bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and

AmThe white milk dripped down with the blood, and the

AmBoyfriend fell down dead for good

Right Dmnext to the preacher who was gasping for air

And Billy Eshouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"

AmHis mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and

AmPulled out an envelope filled with money

"Your Dmdaddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears

"EHe's been paying all the bills for years"

Am"Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees

Amand put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"

DmJust then, his little brother came in

Holding the Emilk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing,

AmWell now you heard another side to the story

But you Cwanna know Bhow it Amends?

AmIf you must know, the truth about the tale

CGo and Bask the Ammilkman

CDB

"You need to behave yourself, boy"

EGAB

CDB

Yeah, Eshe's built for speed like a bGlack castrum AdolorBis

GEood for the needy, like NietzsGche, Freud and AHoracBe

But I'm sEkin, flint, broke, making no mGoney, makingA jokeBs

But Cbaby, I won't joDke with Byou

EMy feet are burning like a GRoman hAypocaBust

Cause without my skull to amplify my sounds it might get boring....

EGAB

I've got the Ewit of the stickers with aGtomic clock pArecisBion

And the pEhases of the moon directing aGll of my dAecisiBons like this...

Women need to know, I play dumb like Columbo

And get my feelings hurt and move to NY like I'm Dumbo

Don't you want to lose the part of the brain that has opinions?

To not even know what you are doing, or care about yourself or your species in the billions

play riff ***3

Yeah I have to spit it out,

Oh, whatever's in my mouth,

Oh, I have to spit it out,

Behave yourself
