Life Love Death And The Meter Man Chords & Lyrics - Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

He was [G]holding the McCulloch
When he knocked upon her [C]door
Yesterday she [G]said she didnâ?[D] ?™t love hi[G]m anymore

But it wasn’t her who answered
It was some guy he didnâ?[C] ?™t know
So he fired up that [G]chainsaw
and he [D]laid that sucker [G]low
So he [C]fired up that [G]chainsaw
and he [D]laid that sucker [G]low

But when he saw the clipboard lying
in the severed [C]hand
He realized that [G]he just limbed from [D]limbed
the meter [G]man

Heard the sirens coming, and he sat
down on the [C]steps
Shut off his Mc[G]Culloch and he [D]lit a ciga[G]rette
[C]Shut off his Mc[G]Culloch and he [D]lit a ciga[G]rette

The verdict, it was guilty and they said
"you�[C] ?re gonna fry"
He [G]didn’t see[D] her in the back row,
[C]didn’t hear[G] her cry

All that he could see was the terrified
face of the meter [C]man
The moment that he [G]sent him packing [D]to the
promised [G]land
[C]The moment that he [G]sent him packing [D]to the
promised [G]land

They led him down the hallway,
and the priest said him a [C]prayer
He wasn’t none[G] too happy,
but he [D]knew that fair was [G]fair

Still he’d like to thank the meter man,
for [C]coming to the [G]door
Otherwise his true love [D]would be
lying [C]scattered on the [G]floor
Other[G]wise his true love [D]would be
lying [C]scattered on the [G]floor
And as for her, she never loved a[C]gain,
no not one [G]time
And though she broke his [C]heart
and led him [D]to this ghastly [G]crime

She prayed each day they’d be
together [C]on the other [G]side
And she cried herself to [C]sleep each night un[D]til the
day she d[G]ied
She cried herself to slee[C]p each night until [D]the
day she d[G]ied
