[Chorus]
D              G/F#
Don't wash the cast 
      G
iron skillet
D                G/F# 
Don't drink and drive, 
       G         G/A
you'll spill it
G/B   G/A          G        
Don't ask too many questions
                        D
 or you'll never get to sleep
              G/F#        
There's a hole inside you,
G
 fill it
[Verse 1]
D                  G/F#
Shower up and shave
    G
Put flowers on the grave
            G/B              G/A
And ask the Lord to save his soul
             G
Although you know it's too late
D            G/F#     G
Was it 27 times, or was it 29?
            G/B  
I heard the blade
           G/A
 broke off inside the man
       G
And he took a while to die
D                     G/F#
How did he get so low?

G
Seems like just a week ago
        G/B              G/A G
We were 10 and 12 years old
D                     G/F#
He was sweet and soft
G
Shied away from the 
inside fastballs
    G/B        G/A 
And died doing life 
               G
without parole
[Chorus]
D                G/F#   G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D                   G/F#
That dog bites my kid, 
   G        G/A
I'll kill it
G/B   G/A       
Don't walk where

            G
you can't see your feet
D                  G/F#  
Don't ask questions just
   G
 believe it
[Verse 2]
D                       G/F#
Jamie found a boyfriend
     G
With smiling eyes and dark skin
        G/B         G/A  
And her daddy never spoke
         G
 another word to her again
D                            G/F#
The old man at the Quickstop
G
Lying to the county cops
    G/B               G/A
And laughing like his soul 
              G
was without sin
D                      G/F#
How did he get so low?
G
Seems like just a week ago
        G/B            
She was sitting on your
 G/A                G
 shoulders watching fireworks 
in the sky
D                          G/F#
He treats her like a queen
G
But you don't know 
'cause you ain't seen
     G/B                G/A 
It's hard to go through life 
              G
without your daddy by your side
[Chorus]
D               G/F#      G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D                   
This town won't get 
  G/F#      G      G/A
no better, will it
G/B       G/A            
She found love and it was
 G
 simple as a weathervane
D                       G
Her own family tried to kill him
D                 G/F#   G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D                 G/F#   G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D                 G/F#   G
Don't wash the cast iron
