(Intro)

                 G
Well, I had me a pigeon
               C
By the name of Fred
           G
But I done shot him
       C
In the head

         G
Had me a railroad
            C
Down on the ridge
           G
But I done blowed up
    C
The bridge

         G
Had me a dog
               C
He was my best friend
       G
But to him
              C
I done put an end

         G
Had me a farm
                      C
Sittin' pretty on the hill
           G
But if you look
                          C
You'll see it ain't there still

Gm7                    C
    I don't know why I done it
Gm7                       C
    Honest, it ain't like me
Gm7                       C
    But I ain't sad now I done it
Gm7                                 C      G
    'Cause a baby boy has got to be   free
