Okay so the chord charts will come up different up here is how I play this song 
with the G's and C's
G -3-    C -3-        You can play them the standard way if you want, but I

GThere's a twelve gauge shotgun Clyin' on the floor
DAnd she's not sure that he's Gbreathin' anymore
GNow she's sittin on the corner of her Cbed in her room
DSirens blarin' they'll Gbe there soon
And now she's Gcryin' with her head in her hCands
DTalkin' so fast that they Gdon't understand
Said he Ghit her that morning, he Chit her that night
But Dall she remembers was a Gflashin' light
Chorus:
But he's Gnever gonna hit her Cagain
He's nDever gonna hit her Gagain
You can Gbe real sure of a Cone thing friend
He'll Dnever ever hit her Gagain
(Solo)
Well he caught her with a quick right cross
And didn't know the line he'd crossed
Now there's blood in her hair and blood on her clothes
Blood still runnin' from her nose
Well she went and found a box of shells
Gonna send him straight to hell
There were tears on her face when her eyes turned black
Never knew a twelve gauge could kick like that
Chorus
There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin' on the floor
And she's not sure that he's breathin' anymore
Well they put her in the cop car took her downtown
All of the neighbors standing around
And now she's cryin' with her head in her hands
Talkin' so fast that they don't understand
Said he hit her that morning, he hit her that night
But all she remembers was a flashin' light
Chorus
