Standard Tuning, No Capo (Intro) Am Am F They took him in arrest with a shot through his chest E Am And many more followed through Am F The men folk shook their heads and said, E Am "We did what we had to do." Am F While the women folk buried their heads in their hands E Am and covered the children?s eyes Am F Before they turned to see Mr. Watson?s E Am children and wife crying F C Oh Lord, why the storm? G Am These shores you scorn F C In the times we make G Am While our lives you take F Am Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands G F To raise cane and wreck hell F Am Oh and now he?s face down G Am face down in those bloody shells Am F Here life ain?t grand as sugar cane is sweet E Am when the tides bring misery Am F Of two young lovers shot all to hell E Am over land while Watson?s free F C Oh Lord, why the storm? G Am These shores you scorn F C In the times we make G Am While our lives you take F Am Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands G F To raise cane and wreck hell F Am Oh and now he?s face down G Am face down in those bloody shells Am F G Am x4 Am F Well, boy raise an ear before you raise your iron E Am Unless you aim with will Am F For Edgar J. won?t back down to you son E Am And that?s why he will be killed F C Oh Lord, why the storm? G Am These shores you scorn F C In the times we make G Am While our lives you take F Am Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands G F To raise cane and wreck hell F Am Oh and now he?s face down G Am face down in those bloody shells Am F G Am x4
