GMy dear helen it's been a whC/Gile since we've talked.
E5Charlie and i haven't been A5up to a whole lot.
He's C/Gslowing down a little and my C5knee's acting up,
Yeah we're Cquite a pair of geezers moving sAmlowGer than molasses.
You'd be C/Glaughing if you saw us, you aD/Always loved to tease.
I Gdug up an old bottle of your raC/Gspberry wine,
So i'm sE5louched out on the porch-swing just tA5aking my time.
My C/Gmind keeps turning out these C5pictures of you,
You were Cdancing in the kitchen and i was enAmjoyGing my view.
Oh cC/Gharlie was squirming just D/Atwo steps behind you.
GMy dear helen do you reC/Gmember when you said
That you'd be E5waiting at the gates so you could A5sneak me in?
Well it C/Gsure was funny but it still cauC5ght in my throat,
And when i Cthink about it now, it still AmmakGes me choke.
And i wC/Gonder if those gates would ever opD/Aen up for me.
GHelen my dear, i do have C/Gsomething to tell.
I E5don't know how to start so i guA5ess i just will.
See, these nC/Gights have been hot, it's that muC5ggy sort of air.
Doesn't Clet me get to sleep so i usuAmallGy just lie there
On tC/Gop of my quilt with chD/Aarlie by my feet.
Last Gnight as i laid there frusC/Gtrated and tired,
I was E5sat up in my bed by the heA5ns starting wild.
I thought, C/G'that fox is back again, he's gonna C5rob me blind.
I don't knCow how he gets in but i'd beAmtteGr make him fly'.
So i C/Gtook my leaning rifle out the dD/Aoor.
I Gfired off a shot aiming faC/Gr into the heat.
And as sE5oon as it was flying i felt weA5ak in my knees.
I heard C/Gshoes turning gravel and then tiC5res spitting rocks.
I heard a Cgasp for air and my stAmomaGch tied in knots.
ChC/Garlie started whining with his taC5il between his legs.
We wCandered out slow but my heAmartG was breakin' ribs.
I couC/Gldn't hear nothing and there was a giC5rl lying twisted,
My hCands were trembling and i fAmeltG that she was limp.
Her puC/Glse wasn't tapping so i felt siC5ck to my stomach.
ChCarlie was frozen, so i wAmentG for a shovel
And i buC/Gried her body, i didn't kC5now what else to do.
If i'd only Caimed a little higher if i'd only tAmhouGght before i fired.
I hope C/Ggod can forgive me, i hope yC5ou forgive me too,
I'm just a tCired old man just waiAmtinGg to join you.
So heC/Gre i am slouched on this olC5d porch swing,
ThCinking about heaven, thinking abAmoutG everything.
So be waC/Giting by those gates, you might neC5ed to sneak me in,
I don't knCow how they feel about us acAmcidGental killers.
I don't knC/Gow how they feel about us tiC5red old men.
I don't knCow how they feel about us tirAmed,G old, murdering men.
C/GC5
I don't knCow how they feel about us tirAmed,G old, murdering men.
