38 Special - Sheriff's County Line
Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de
[Intro]
D/A A D/A A
[Verse]
D/A
In a place called Sheriff's County
A
There's a story goin' round
D/A G
And it echoes through the swamps of FLA
D/A
About the sheriff and his daughter
A
That he guarded with his life
D/A G
With a shotgun just to keep those wolves at bay
F E
But she was a fire beyond control
G E
No chains could hold her captive soul
[Chorus]
A G D/F# F
Now the legend grows as days unwind
A G D/F# F
About passions strong and justice blind
A G D/F# F
To the reckless deeds that hide behind
E
The Sheriff's County Line
[Interlude]
D/A A D/A A
[Verse 2]
D/A A
Now the sheriff had a deputy that he treated like a son
D/A G
But he warned Calhoun not to see Estelle
D/A
'Cause he knew that she was trouble
A
Had her mama's wild side
D/A G
And if he slipped he'd make his life a living hell
F E
But flesh is weak and passion's strong
F E
There in the backwoods around dawn
[Chorus 2]
A G D/F# F
They say it was a murder in the first degree
A G D/F# F
When the sheriff caught them in the heat
A G D/F# F
Just one shot killed the deputy
E D
On the Sheriff's County Line
[Solo]
A G D/F# F
A G D/F# F
A G D/F# F
A G D/F# F
[Bridge]
A G D/F# F
One step closer to midnight
A G D/F# F
Sittin' there just waitin' to die
A G D/F# F
The young preacher asks if he's ready
E
To make his peace and speak his mind
A G D/F# F
He said "Blood is thicker than water"?
A G D/F# F
And my temper must've got out of hand
A G D/F# F
And just before they threw the switch on Old Sparky
E A
He said "I'd do it all over, Do it all over again"?
[Verse 3]
D/A A
Now Estelle is softly crying at the foot of her daddy's grave
D/A G
As the preacher reads the bible verse out loud
D/A
You could see her eyes a wanderin'
A
As he turns another page
D/A G
And she pulls him ever gently from the crowd she tells him
F E
Oh she feels so all alone
F E
And begs him to walk her safely home
[Chorus 3]
A G D/F# F
And the madness starts all over again
A G D/F# F
Calhoun's curse is the preacher's end
A G D/F# F
Cause the forbidden fruit is the sweetest sin
E D
On the Sheriff's County Line
[Solo 2]
A G D/F# F
A G D/F# F
A G D/F# F
A G D/F# F
