[Verse 1]
      A
I see Mitchell coming up the switchback
           A
Ain't no running from the problems we have
     D7
The table's set for war
            A
Ain't no guessing what the knives are for
           E
I didn't leave my house dressed to die
     D7                                    A
Only one of us is gonna make it out alive tonight


[Chorus]
    A
Oh come on, come on, come on
A
I've got a lean mean appetite
A
I'm fiending for a little blood and mud
A
With my buck knife ready to fight
             D7
Oh, come in sight
                       A       E D7 A
Here come Mitchell McKnight


[Verse 2]
A
I'll tell you what, I might give him a chance
          A
'Fore we sign in blood and do this dance
          D7
I won't kill him, just leave him broken and scattered
   A
If he tells the whole damn world, he's a coward
    E
My brother's back was turned and he was three sheets winded
      D7                  A
When Mitch showed up and his life ended


[Chorus]
    A
Oh come on, come on, come on
A
I've got a lean mean appetite
A
I'm fiending for a little blood and mud
A
With my buck knife ready to fight
             D7
Oh, come in sight
                       A       E D7 A
Here come Mitchell McKnight


[Verse 3]
        A
I seen Mitchell rolling up the switchback
A
Bet he never thought he'd get hit back
      D7
For jumping my brother that day
                A
Yeah, he had a blood feud coming his way
     E
He signed with death and he didn't even know it
          D7                                       A
When his truck pulls up, Lord knows I'm gonna show it

[Instrumental Break]
A A A A D7 A A A A E D7 A

[Outro]
      E
When Mitch was at my feet just about to pass
    D7
He looked up at me, wheezin' and asked
 E
Why? Why? Why?
