8x | Em | Em Am |
| 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 |
[VERSE 1]
[Em]Peik had only [Em]one good eye[Am] [Em]and a troubled [Em]mind [Am]
[Em]He lost the other eye [Em]fighting the sher[Am]iff [Em]in the jail one [Em]night[Am]
[Em]Homeless for the past [Em]fourty years[Am] , [Em]carried all he [Em]owned [Am]
[Em]How he made it through those [Em]winter nigh[Am]ts [Em]I guess I’ll never [Em]kno[Am]w
[PRE-CHORUS]
[C]When they found that [D]poor young girl[Em] dead in the [G]woods
It [C]didn’t take too [D]long before poor [Em]Peik had his neck in the [G]noose
[C]It was on the [D]news
[CHORUS]
[G]Crowd was standing, [D]Peik was on the landing
[Em]Took the dive one [C]minute to midnight [G]Oh it’s a [D]shame about old [Em]Peik
[G]When the light died [D] in his one eye
[Em]Couldn’t shake the [C]feeling it wasn’t right
[G]Oh it’s a [D]shame about old [Em]Peik
4x | Em | Em Am |
| 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 |
[VERSE 2]
[Em]The girl she came from a [Em]foreign coun[Am]try, [Em]she was pale and [Em]fair [Am]
[Em]Everybody just [Em]loved her ac[Am]cent [Em]and her frizzy [Em]hair [Am]
[Em]Peik was seen maybe [Em]once or tw[Am]ice [Em]following her a[Em]round[Am]
[Em]But she always *just [Em]smiled at h[Am]im [Em]and never put him [Em]down [Am]
[PRE-CHORUS]
[C]When they found her [D]body laying in [Em]the shallow [G]grave
[C]Seemed right then and [D]there they knew on [Em]who they’d pin the [G]blame
[C]And a plan was [D]made
[CHORUS]
[G]Crowd was standing, [D]Peik was on the landing

[Am]The morning [D]paper had a [Em]whole page picture of [G]Peik
The [Am]mayor said the [D]sheriff was the [G]one to congratu[Em]late
[Am]The Main Street [D]ladies all went [G]out to cele[Em]brate
[Am]But a guilty [D]conscience kept the [G]sheriff a[Em]wake
[C]Oh it’s a [D]shame about old [G]Peik
