[C] The Warden made a comment
4
That the Governor sure does write a pretty [D] hand
5
As he [G] handed me the paper
6
That has given me my freedom, once a-[C] gain
7
The Governor said I'm sorry
8
That new evidence came seven years too [D] late
9
Go [G] home and start your life again
10
Revenge will only fill your heart with [C] hate.
11
As the train pulls into the station
12
I can see Peggy waiting there for me
13
But I can tell there's something wrong
14
She's not the happy girl she used to be
15
Peggy hasn't said much
16
As she drives along the road back to our farm
17
And she ignored the question
18
When I asked her where she got this pretty car.

23
As she pulled into the driveway
24
I can see she's planted flowers all around
25
I'm surprised to see good paint
26
I thought the place would surely be run down
27
I said Peggy you've done wonders
28
And I wonder how you've done it on your own
29
She said I had to hire a hand
30
I never could have run this farm alone.

CHANGE TO D:
32
[D] Then Peggy started cryin' and she said
33
There's something that you have to [E] see
34
There's a [A] little boy inside
35
And you should know that he is only [D] three
36
We went inside and Peggy said
37
I'm sorry but there's nothing I can [E] do
38
But if [A] you'll let us stay here
39
I'll try my best to make it up to [D] you.

The little boy looked frightened
46
At the thin man who has come in from the cold
47
He hides behind his mother's skirt
48
As she bends down to wipe his little nose
49
I said Peggy, I still love you
50
And I'll do my best to try to understand
51
For God has pardoned both of us
52
And don't the Governor write a pretty hand?
53
Then [A] Peggy dried her tears when I said
54
Don't the Governor write a pretty [D] hand?
