F                   
  Mary Anne and Wanda
          A#
were the best of friends

All through their high school days

[Verse]
        F
Well it wasn't two weeks

After she got married that
F                      C
Wanda started gettin' abused
           F            
  She put on dark glasses

and long sleeved blouses
    F          C       F
And make up to cover a bruise
         F               
  Well she finally got the
          A#
nerve to file for divorce
    F                        C
She let the law take it from there
    F                         
  But Earl walked right through
         A#
that restraining order
    F            C       F
And put her in intensive care


[Pre-chorus]
       Dm            
  Right away Mary Anne
      C
flew in from Atlanta
     A#                F
On a red eye midnight flight
         Dm
She held Wanda's hand as they
C
Worked out a plan
       A#           
  And it didn't take
               C    \
'em long to decide


[Chorus]
                 F   A#  F
That Earl had to die
    C   A#
Goodbye Earl
                 F    A#   F
Those black-eyed peas
A#           F            C  A#
They tasted all right to me Earl
               F
You're feelin' weak
A#             F
Why don't you lay down
    C     A#
And sleep Earl
         F
Ain't it dark
A#       F          C    A#
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl


[Bridge]
F A# 2x


[Verse]
F                   A#
The cops came by to bring Earl in
F
They searched the house
         C
High and low
          F
Then they tipped their hats
          A#                   
  And said: thank you ladies if
     F             C      F
you hear from him let us know


[Verse]
         F
Well the weeks went by and
 A#
Spring turned to Summer
    F                 C
And Summer faded into Fall
       F            
  And it turns out he
       A#
was a missing person
    F      C         F
Who nobody missed at all


[Pre-chorus]
       Dm
So the girls bought some land
      C
And a roadside stand
A#                F
Out on Highway 109
          Dm
They sell Tennessee ham
     C
And strawberry jam
         A#
And they don't
                  C
Lose any sleep at night 'cause
