[verse 1]
Em Em Am Em Em Am
Peik had only one good eye and a troubled mind
Em Em Am Em Em Am
He lost the other eye fighting the sheriff in the jail one night
Em Em Am Em Em Am
Homeless for the past fourty years, carried all he owned
Em Em Am Em Em Am
How he made it through those winter nights I guess I’ll never know
[pre-chorus]
C D Em G
When they found that poor young girl dead in the woods
C D Em G
It didn’t take too long before poor Peik had his neck in the noose
C D
It was on the news
[chorus]
G D
Crowd was standing, Peik was on the landing
Em C G D Em
Took the dive one minute to midnight Oh it’s a shame about old Peik
G D
When the light died in his one eye
Em C
Couldn’t shake the feeling it wasn’t right
G D Em
Oh it’s a shame about old Peik

[verse 2]
Em Em Am Em Em Am
The girl she came from a foreign country, she was pale and fair
Em Em Am Em Em Am
Everybody just loved her accent and her frizzy hair
Em Em Am Em Em Am
Peik was seen maybe once or twice following her around
Em Em Am Em Em Am
But she always *just smiled at him and never put him down
[pre-chorus]
C D Em G
When they found her body laying in the shallow grave
C D Em G
Seemed right then and there they knew on who they’d pin the blame
C D
And a plan was made
[chorus]
G D
Crowd was standing, Peik was on the landing
Em C G D Em
Took the dive one minute to midnight Oh it’s a shame about old Peik

The morning paper had a whole page picture of Peik
Am D G Em
The mayor said the sheriff was the one to congratulate
Am D G Em

But a guilty conscience kept the sheriff awake
C D G
Oh it’s a shame about old Peik
