Take Me In Chains

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

    C                       G
One night in the driveway a shadow of a man
    D                     G             G7
Was talking to my wife, I couldn't understand
C                   G
In a jealous rage I shot the stranger down
D                                        G
In a pool of blood her daddy laid on the ground

Chorus

I'm lonesome tonight by this railroad so quiet
My memory brings back our old used-to-be
Don't feel guilty my darling, I know I'm to blame
But if I come back home they'll take me in chains

Verse 2

In this letter I'm writing
I ask of you
Take care of our babies, Ted and little Sue
Maybe some day darling we can make things right
And sit with our babies at home every night

Chorus

I'm lonesome tonight by this railroad so quiet
My memory brings back our old used-to-be
Don't feel guilty my darling, I know I'm to blame
But if I come back home they'll take me in chains

Instrumental break

Chorus

I'm lonesome tonight by this railroad so quiet
My memory brings back our old used-to-be
Don't feel guilty my darling, I know I'm to blame
But if I come back home they'll take me in chains
