A G D A D Am D C Am
[Verse 1]
Am D
It happened in an open field
G D
Down in a southern state
Am D
And no one knows the reason why
G D
Some would say it's hate
Am D
They shot the guy who sold the dogs
G D
It came as some surprise
Am F
And to a lady standing there
C D
Brought sadness to her eyes
[Chorus]
Am G
She's a rock and roll widow
D Am G
Living in this town
Am D
Another rock and roll widow
C A
Since they gunned him down
[Verse 2]
Am D
The heat of day still hung around
G D
As night began to fall
Am D
The sheriff came up from the town
G D
In answer to the call
Am D
The band played on in darkness
G D
Not knowing what to do
C Am F
As people ran from side to side
C D
Just looking for a clue
[Chorus]
Am G
She's a rock and roll widow
D Am G
Living in this town
Am D
Another rock and roll widow
C A
Since they gunned him down
