Am G Am
I stumble from the woods after nightfall
Am G Am
Soaked in crimson rain from head to toe
Am G Am
I slaughtered all our soul and showed no mercy
C G Am
I'm not the least concerned with where I have to go
[Verse]
Am G Am
I returned to find my house burning brightly
Am G Am
They've raped my wife and killed my only son
Am G Am
I return from war a victor for my country
C G Am
And was repaid with the deaths of those I love
[Chorus]
Am G Am
So darlin' won't you take my hand in marriage
Am G Am
Walk with me across the firing line
Am G Am
'Cause I'm headed straight to hell for what I've done here
C G Am
And I could use a little of your precious company

And I did the deed that was to seal my fate

In the background I can hear Satan's laughter
C G Am
And I know deep down inside that Hell awaits
[Chorus]
Am G Am
So darlin' won't you take my hand in marriage
Am G Am
Walk with me across the firing line
Am G Am
I'm headed straight to hell for what I've done here

And I could use a little of your precious company
C G Am
I could use a little of your precious company
