[Verse]
 
     D/A
In a place called Sheriff's County
          A
There's a story goin' round
       D/A                            G
And it echoes through the swamps of FLA
          D/A
About the sheriff and his daughter
        A
That he guarded with his life
       D/A                                  G
With a shotgun just to keep those wolves at bay
F                             E
But she was a fire beyond control
G                                E
No chains could hold her captive soul
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        A      G        D/F#   F
Now the legend grows as days unwind
      A        G          D/F#   F
About passions strong and justice blind
       A        G          D/F#   F
To the reckless deeds that hide behind
E
The Sheriff's County Line

[Verse 2]
 
        D/A                          A
Now the sheriff had a deputy that he treated like a son
       D/A                         G
But he warned Calhoun not to see Estelle
          D/A
'Cause he knew that she was trouble
        A
Had her mama's wild side
          D/A                                 G
And if he slipped he'd make his life a living hell
F                               E
But flesh is weak and passion's strong
F                             E
There in the backwoods around dawn
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                  A      G      D/F#    F
They say it was a murder in the first degree
         A       G           D/F#   F
When the sheriff caught them in the heat
     A        G          D/F# F
Just one shot killed the deputy
E                             D
On the Sheriff's County Line

A        G         D/F#     F
One step closer to midnight
A                  G          D/F# F
Sittin' there just waitin' to die
    A        G         D/F#     F
The young preacher asks if he's ready
   E
To make his peace and speak his mind
         A        G            D/F#    F
He said "Blood is thicker than water"?
       A              G          D/F#  F
And my temper must've got out of hand
           A                   G             D/F# F
And just before they threw the switch on Old Sparky
             E                               A
He said "I'd do it all over, Do it all over again"?
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
      D/A                           A
Now Estelle is softly crying at the foot of her daddy's grave
       D/A                                G
As the preacher reads the bible verse out loud
          D/A
You could see her eyes a wanderin'
      A
As he turns another page
        D/A                            G
And she pulls him ever gently from the crowd she tells him
F                    E
Oh she feels so all alone
F                               E
And begs him to walk her safely home
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
        A      G           D/F#  F
And the madness starts all over again
A         G            D/F#       F
Calhoun's curse is the preacher's end
             A      G            D/F#     F
Cause the forbidden fruit is the sweetest sin
E                            D
On the Sheriff's County Line
