Candy Apple Red
Bill Anderson
Capo 1
Intro: D-A7-D
D A7 D
He came speeding through the town each day at sundown
G D
And his car was painted candy apple red
G D
He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter
A7
And the sheriff didn't know it so they said
D A7 D
Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him
G D
But he always speeded up and got away
G D
That old county jail stood patiently a waiting
A7 D
And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day
D G D
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said
A7 G D
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead
G D
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
A7 D
Than to live without her candy apple red
Inst: D-A7-D
D A7 D
So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him
G D
And he sat there at the limits of the town
G D
But the sheriff's daughter had already met him
A7
And had married him before the sun went down
D A7 D
When the sheriff saw him comin' down the highway
G D
He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath
G D
As they crashed the barricade the car exploded
A7 D
And the boy and girl went to a flaming death
D G D
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said
A7 G D
He doesn't slow it down at all and now he lies there dead
G D
While the sheriff's bowed his head, his daughter lay there dead
A7 D
Cradled in the arms of candy apple red
