Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Judy,  I feel weary now, older  than a man  of 33
 The gates of Hell just opened, after 20  years the warden  says I'm free
Revenge  was all I wanted
 When I killed  the man that took  your life that day
 I've had my satisfaction, but the price  was more than love  should have to pay
Lord  knows you weren't no lady, and the witnesses
 All swore  you was to blame
 And the way  you teased the menfolk,
 The jury  all agreed you knew no shame,  knew no shame.
 Second verse:
 Well I'm glad that you can't see me now
 You'd probably say I do not look my best
 Those lawyers took my money, and that Louisiana road gang took the rest
 And Judy I can't even conjure up your picture in my mind today
 Lately I've been thinkin' what a fool I was to love you anyway
 Last verse:
 Well it all seems kind of useless
 As I place these flowers on your grave today
 I don't know what I'm doing here,
 I've forgotten all the things I came to say

Readable chord sheet for Revenge by David Allan Coe

[A]Judy, I feel weary now, [D]older than a [E]man of 3[A]3

The gates of Hell just opened, after [D]20 years the [E]warden says I'm [A]free

[E]Revenge was all I wanted

When I [D]killed the man that [E]took your life that [A]day

I've had my satisfaction, but the [D]price was more than [E]love should have to [A]pay

[E]Lord knows you weren't no lady, and the [D]witnesses

All [E]swore you was to [A]blame

And the [E]way you teased the menfolk,

The [D]jury all agreed you knew no [A]shame, knew no [E]shame.

Second verse:
Well I'm glad that you can't see me now
You'd probably say I do not look my best
Those lawyers took my money, and that Louisiana road gang took the rest

And Judy I can't even conjure up your picture in my mind today
Lately I've been thinkin' what a fool I was to love you anyway

Last verse:
Well it all seems kind of useless
As I place these flowers on your grave today
I don't know what I'm doing here,
I've forgotten all the things I came to say
