Botched Execution

	  		
Intro:  Am 

Verse 

Am 
They botched my execution back in 1996 
          Dm 
I climbed out of a window and I hopped over the fence 
       Am 
Had to dig myself a tunnel, put my feet on the cement 
            Em 
And started running, running, running, ain't nobody seen me since 
             Am 
And now I've got to find a friend, someone to tell I didn't do it 
           Dm 
But now my picture's in the paper, there's no way that I can prove it 
        Am 
And the body's in the closet 'cause I never got to move it 
        E 
Now the neighbor kids are talking, saying, "Everybody knew it" 

 
Am 
Ah ah 
Dm 
Ah ah 
G                        C      E 
All my little seeds have groo-o-own 
Am 
Ah ah 
Dm 
Ah ah 
G                      C     E 
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome 
   Am    F 
Ah-ah ah-ah 
   Am 
...Oh 


verse 2 
Am 
Leave a trail of crumbs, a lure for them to bite on 
Dm 
In a Motel 6, thank God nobody left the light on 
Am 
Dressed myself in women's clothing and a wig that I had tried on 
         E 
Tried to cleanse myself of all those alibis I'd relied on 
Am 
And now I'm lying on my back, looking at the ceiling 
     Dm 
When suddenly I am distracted by that old familiar feeling 
         Am 
With the table and the devil and the cards that he was dealing 
      E 
I was sure enough a slave and some poor soul I would be stealing tonight 

 
Am 
Ah ah 
Dm 
Ah ah 
G                        C      E 
All my little seeds have groo-o-own 
Am 
Ah ah 
Dm 
Ah ah 
G                      C     E 
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome 
   Am    F 
Ah-ah ah-ah 
   Am 
...Oh 


verse 3 
      Am 
Well, hitched my skirt, climbed up the car on the railroad 
Dm 
Found myself a-gazing down the barrel at a crossroad 
Am 
Hide out in the circus, rob a bank, hit the payload 
   E 
Or wait out in the darkness with the freaks and kinda lay low 
  Am 
A storm had downed a power line, laying on the trainway 
Dm 
Standing in a puddle, felt a shock and in a ditch lay 
Am 
In my final moments I could hear the lucky judge say 
         E 
"Well, I guess the execution went as scheduled anyway" 

 
Am 
Ah ah 
Dm 
Ah ah 
G                        C      E 
All my little seeds have groo-o-own 
Am 
Ah ah 
Dm 
Ah ah 
G                      C     E 
Sooner later come back hoo-o-ome 
   Am    F 
Ah-ah ah-ah 
   Am 
...Oh
