[Verse 1]
              C
At first I suspected something
    A                       G
She acted so calm and absentminded

And one day I heard the back door shut
     A                        C               A
As I entered the front, and I saw him slink
                      C          A
Back of the smokehouse into the lot
                   C        G    A    C    G
And run across the field


[Verse 1]

And I meant to kill him on sight
         A                 C               G
But that day, walking near Fourth Bridge
                              C
Without a stick or a stone at hand
A                 G       C          A
All of a sudden I saw him standing
          G      C           A
Scared to death, holding his rabbits
                          C      G              C
And all I could say was, "Don't, Don't, Don't"
                                   A    G      A
As he aimed and fired at my heart
