Choctaw County Affair

Intro: A

       A
Well, life's been kind of trippy down here in Mississippi
      D                   A
Since Cassie O'Grady disappeared
    A
And me and my Bob Shaver been in all the newspapers
      D                 A
Every day for nigh on a year
     A
They say we got tangled in a love triangle
D                       F
A fatal game of truth or dare

        E
But the truth remains a mystery and now it's ancient history
       (E)
It's a Choctaw County affair
                    A                 D
It's just a Choctaw County affair
                    (Choctaw County affair)
F                             A               D
Well, people talkin' 'bout it everywhere
                               (Choctaw County affair)

      A
Well, Cassie O'Grady was no Southern lady
D                      A
Despite all the media hype
         A
They all loved to make her out like a sweet little devout
D                        A
All-American cheerleader type
        A
But her mind was cattywampus, she was greedy, she was pompous
D                                     F
Strutting 'round with her nose in the air


          E
She was a cold gold-digger tickling a hand trigger
        (E)
It's a Choctaw County affair
                    A      D
It's just a Choctaw County affair
                     (Choctaw County affair)
    F                  A               D
And now they say she's lying dead somewhere
                       (Choctaw County affair)

        A
Well, I do not deny I wished Cassie would die
         D                  A
When she threatened us with blackmail
         A
She said she had some information that would wreck my reputation
    D                  A
And land Bobby back in jail
         A                                           D
Now it's best to remember Bobby Shaver's got a temper
                         F
Like a buck-shot grizzly bear

               E
But there's no body, there's no witness, so y'all go mind your business
       (E)
It's a Choctaw County affair
                   A              D

    F                             A                         D
Oh, you mess with Bobby and you better beware

F    A

          A
Well, the press went wild on the day of the trial
         D                      A
When they put us on the witness stand
                  A
They thought we'd turn on each other, but soon they all discovered
         D                    A
We were live-or-die, hand in hand
         A
And that fancy D.A. from down Jackson way
D                                F
Said he'd see us in the electric chair, ha

        E
But the foreman of the jury told me "honey, don't you worry"
       (E)                          A               D
