Artist : Shovels & Rope
Song : 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"

Chorus :
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

Chorus :
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"

Chorus :
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
