ANGRY JOHNNY AND THE KILLBILLIES - Life, Love, Death And The Meter Man

       G
He was holding the McCulloch
                         C
When he knocked upon her door
              G               D           G
Yesterday she said she didn’t love him anymore

But it wasn’t her who answered
                          C
It was some guy he didn’t know
                    G
So he fired up that chainsaw 
       D                G
and he laid that sucker low
      C             G  
So he fired up that chainsaw 
       D                G
and he laid that sucker low

But when he saw the clipboard lying
               C
in the severed hand
                 G                   D
He realized that he just limbed from limbed
          G
the meter man

Heard the sirens coming, and he sat
            C
down on the steps
               G              D         G
Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette
C              G              D         G
Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette

The verdict, it was guilty and they said
              C
"you’re gonna fry"
   G              D
He didn’t see her in the back row,
C               G
didn’t hear her cry

All that he could see was the terrified
                  C
face of the meter man
                   G                D
The moment that he sent him packing to the
         G
promised land
C                  G                D
The moment that he sent him packing to the
         G
promised land

They led him down the hallway,
                          C
and the priest said him a prayer
                   G
He wasn’t none too happy,
       D                  G
but he knew that fair was fair

Still he’d like to thank the meter man,
    C             G
for coming to the door
                        D
Otherwise his true love would be
      C                G
lying scattered on the floor
     G                  D
Otherwise his true love would be
      C                G
lying scattered on the floor
                                 C
And as for her, she never loved again,
           G
no not one time
                         C
And though she broke his heart
            D               G
and led him to this ghastly crime

She prayed each day they’d be
         C            G
together on the other side
                         C                  D
And she cried herself to sleep each night until the
         G
day she died
                         C                  D
She cried herself to sleep each night until the
         G
day she died
