VERSE
G
The call came in,
C
Lorraine shot down,
Am
Her husband pulled the trigger,

Then he blew his brains out,

At the other end,
C
The police took a call,
Am
They didn't believe,
D
That he was dead at all,
Bm
And they wouldn't help her and she knew;

It had been 20 years since they fell in love,
He's brought a lot of pain,
But now he's brought alot of blood,
And he's taken more than his share,

We can't lose a life,
The police chief said,
There's an armed man in there,
He'd be better off dead
As Lorraine bled from her legs,

VERSE
Speak to me now,
But all she could say,
Was "I don't want to die like this",
So they sit there on their way,
They never heard,
That she was Lorraine,
So they didn't let her die,
With ever her name,
As she left us all in pain,
CHORUS
