C#
Well I saw you with another
It made me lose my mind
Shot you with my '38
And now I'm doing time
                F#
And you put me here
            C#
You put me here

Chorus:
       G#7
Well there's no need to doubt
It there ain't no two ways about it
    C#
As sure as your name's Kate
    G#7    C#
You put me here

I've been trying to tell them
That I didn't do nothing wrong
Only gave you what you've been
Deserving all along
And you put me here
You put me here

Chorus

Well the jury found me guilty
They wouldn't hear my plea
I listened as that judge said
Murder in the first degree
And you put me here
You put me here

Chorus

Now the warden and the preacher
They're letting me go slow
It won't be long until I'm gone
Just thirteen steps to go
And you put me here
You put me here

Chorus - x2

Kate, you just plain bad, you know that
