Tattoo Of Her Name

Em 
She told me he was beating her today 
                                        Am 
And she showed me all the bruises on her face 
Am 
I said, baby, can I make it all OK 
B 
She said, honey, you should make him go away 


Em 
There's a hundred thousand dollars in the bank 
                                Am 
And the policy he took out yesterday 
Am 
We can live outside the country for awhile 
B                                       Am 
Until things smooth over and get under control 

B                       D              Am                                      
There's a tattoo of your name across my soul 
Same chords throughout 

I bought a rifle and black guns without a name 
For an alibi she went six states away 
When I saw him I felt fire I felt cold 
Like the devil and the lord wanted my soul 

Like the tattoo of your name across my soul 

So I shot him in his car until he died 
I called to give the signal and she cried 
Life has a way of making other plans 
She called the cops and said I was a crazy man 

I'm gonna get this thing removed when I can 

Solo 

There was never any policy 
And the bruises came from falling on the street 
So the judge gave me one hundred thousand years 
In the courtroom she was filling up with tears 

I saw her hold the lawyer's hand real tight 
They looked tired from lack of sleep last night 
Seems the whole time she had me under control 

With a tattoo of her name across my soul 

She gets off and I will never have parole 

Just this tattoo of your name across my soul 
Just this tattoo of your name across my soul
