[Verse 1]
E                        B
Well, I'm sittin' in the back porch
       D                  A
On the north-west side of town
          E                        B
Picturing last night way up in the city
           D            A
Where they shot my baby down

[Chorus]
             D
She could be dyin', oh, oh, no
         A
Well, it can't much matter to you
            D
I found her lyin', yeah, yeah, yeah
         B                 E
Near the ball park down at school

Hold on, baby, I need you, honey
          D               A
Won't you bring yourself around
             E                 B
You've gotta help me, help me, mama
          D              A
I'm gonna rip this crazy town

[Chorus]
             D
She could be dyin', oh, oh, no
         A
Well, it can't much matter to you
            D
I found her lyin', yeah, yeah, yeah
         B                 E
Near the ball park down at school

[Verse 4]
E                                  B
The sheriff came on to question my brother
             D                        A
I could have dropped down through the floor
               E                              B
Before I could turn round, he was runnin' for cover
       D                      A
Like a billy goat through the door

[Chorus]
             D
She could be dyin', oh, oh, no
         A
Well, it can't much matter to you
            D
I found her lyin', yeah, yeah, yeah
         B                 E
Near the ball park down at school
