[Verse 1]
---------------------
         Cm
I didn't mean to end his life,
I know it wasn't right
        Bb
I can't even sleep at night,
Can't get it off my mind
       Cm
I need to get out of sight
                        Bb
'Fore I end up behind bars
             Cm
What started out as
A simple altercation
         Bb
Turned into a real
Sticky situation
        Ab
Me just thinking on
The time that I'm facing
         Bb
Makes me wanna cry

[Pre-Chorus]

Cm
  'Cause I didn't
            Bb
Mean to hurt  him
                          Cm
Coulda been somebody's son
                    Bb
And I took his heart  when
                     Cm
I pulled out that gun
Rumpumpumpum,

Mama, mama, mama
       Bb
I just shot a man down
           Cm
In Central Station
              Bb
In front of a big ol' crowd
    Cm
Oh, why?

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Cm
It's a twentytwo,
I call her Peggy Sue
              Bb
When she fits right
Down in my shoes
What you expect me to do
              Cm
If you're playing
Me for a fool?
I will lose my cool and
          Bb
Reach for my firearm
I didn't mean
   Cm
To lay him down
But it's too late
   Bb
To turn back now
      Ab
Don't know what
I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
   Bb
So I'm 'bout to
Leave town, ayyuh
