Biography:

The Brian Jonestown Massacre was formed in San Francisco in 1990. The band has had over 40 members since then, but its driving force and main songwriter is Anton Newcombe. Other prominent members have included Matt Hollywood, Dean Taylor, Jeff Davies, Brian Glaze, and Joel Gion. Their sound is heavily influenced by the psychedelic sounds of the 1960s, but also carries influences from shoegaze, jangle pop, garage rock, and lo-fi genres.

Intro (play for a while):
E - E7 - E

Verse:
E E7 E
I'm going back to Arkansas
E E7 E
Got’ta kill my Maw and Paw
E E7 E
I'm gonna kill my Mom and Dad
E E7 E
Because they made my life so sad
E E7 E
I run so fast all night and day
E E7 E
They haunt my soul in evil ways
E E7 E
I don’t care what law might do
E E7 E
Hope your folks are good to you

E - E7 - E

Verse:
E E7 E
I stole my neighbor's pickup truck
E E7 E
And took his daughter for good luck
E E7 E
I spent all my dough on a gun
E E7 E
Liquored up to have some fun
E E7 E
I drink all night and I feel real fine
E E7 E
Cause I roll’in past that old state line
E E7 E
Driving off all night and day
E E7 E
Just to show hey on his way

E - E7 - E

Verse:
E E7 E
I pull on down the streets of town
E E7 E
I'd love to burn the fucker down
E E7 E
And down the road all the way
E E7 E
Drove right past my brother Hey
E E7 E
I’m running up the law at night
E E7 E
They can't see me, there's no light
E E7 E
Kick down the door, and then I say
E E7 E
Brace yourself for judgment day

E - E7 - E

Verse:
E E7 E
Going back to Arkansas
E E7 E
Burying my Maw and Paw
E E7 E
Then I'm going far away
E E7 E
Where I'm going, I won't say
E E7 E
Cause I don't know just where I'll run
E E7 E
I guess I’ll follow hell’s son
E E7 E
Maybe north of Mexico
E E7 E
For I ain’t say’in where I’ll go

E - E7 - E

Verse:
E E7 E
I had to kill my Mow and Dad
E E7 E
Because they beat me up real bad
E E7 E
My Daddy beat me every day
E E7 E
For what I done, he wouldn't say
E E7 E
Leather strap across my back
E E7 E
Watch my eyes all roll’in back

E - E7 - E

Verse:
E E7 E
So I killed my Maw and Paw
E E7 E
Killed them both in Arkansas
E E7 E
“You gone” get so damn made
E E7 E
Because I killed my Maw and Dad
E E7 E
And now I'm running night and day
E E7 E
Where I’m going I won’t say
E E7 E
Just me and the girl in the stolen truck
E E7 E
I hope they ohh..,
E E7 E
It's tough luck...
