Evil

Another from the upcoming record, Swimmin' Time. This tab is a work in progress, so feel free to comment with
suggestions/corrections. Most of the verses end with the quick "Am G back to Em" that you hear in the intro.
Enjoy!

     Em
Well standing in line at the equestrian mart, looks like it’s about to rain
                                                    G         Am           Em
I got two small kids and I’m late on the rent, wife split two weeks to the day
G                      Am               Em    Am G Em Am G Em
Dead two weeks to the, two weeks to the day

         Em
Well the sun came out but it was cold as hell, my fingers weren't as numb as my mind
                                                             G           Am        Em
When my quarter horse red, kicked me in the head while I was shoeing him up from behind
G               Am                  Em
Shoeing him up, shoeing him up from behind

    G                        Am
But every now and then I get evil
                                 G
I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
                                B7
I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole
                          Em
I hit my kids but I don’t mean to
      G                     Am
I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
                               G
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
                     B7            Em Am G Em
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah

     Em
Well Melanie lives at the house next down, got a head full of auburn curls
                                                      G               Am    Em
I seen her standing in the mud with a baseball glove, spitting at the other girls
G                Am                    Em      Am G Em
Spitting at the, spitting at the other girls

     Em
Well here she come in the afternoon with some apples and a pack of reds
                                               G            Am        Em
She bathes my baby then she reads me to sleep, nothing much ever gets said
G                       Am                     Em
Nothing much ever gets, nothing much ever gets said

    G                        Am
But every now and then I get evil
                                 G
I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
                                B7
I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole
                          Em
I hit my kids but I don’t mean to
      G                     Am
I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
                               G
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
                     B7            Em Am G Em
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah

Em G Am Em

         Em
Well the cops show up with their lights turned off, judged Johnny from across the street

Had some calls light night something didn't look right
G                    Am               Em
Grab your things you better come with me

Em
Accusations in a room with a neon light, she said don’t you pay us no mind
                                          G     Am       Em
All we ever shared was loneliness, he and I was two of a kind
       G             Am           Em
He and I was two of, was two of a kind

    G                        Am
But every now and then I get evil
                                 G
I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
                                B7
I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole
                          Em
I hit my kids but I don’t mean to
      G                     Am
I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
                               G
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
                     B7            Em Am G Em
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah
