Coward of the County

vs 1
C F C
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
G
He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
C F C
His mama named him Tommy but folks just called him yellow
G C
Something always told me they were reading tommy wrong

vs chord prog simile
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
Son my life is over but yours is just begun

Chorus. 1
C F C
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
F C G
Walk away from trouble if you can
C F C
Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
C F G
I hope you're old enough to understand
F G C
You don't have to fight to be a man

C# F# C#
There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
G#
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
C# F# C#
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin Boys came callin'
G# C#
They took turns at Becky spoken in disgust there were three of them

vs chord prog simile
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'
The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face he heard these words again

Chorus 2
C# F# C#
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
F# C# G#
Walk away from trouble if you can
C# F# C#
Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
F# G#
I hope you're old enough to understand
F# G# C#
You don't have to fight to be a man

D G D
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room
A
One of the got up and hit him halfway cross the floor
D G D
Tommy turned around they said Hey look Ol' Yellow's leavin'
A D
But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door

vs chord prog simile
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back he let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'
He said This one's for Becky as he watched the last one fall
And I heard him say

chorus 3
D G D
I promised you Dad not to do the things you've done

I'll walk away from trouble if I can

Now Please don't think I'm weak I couldn't turn the other cheek
A
Papa I sure hope you understand
G A D
sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man

D G D
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
