Intro: A 
 
       A 
Well, life's been kind of trippy down here in Mississippi 
      D                   A 
Since Cassie O'Grady disappeared 
    A 
And me and my Bob Shaver been in all the newspapers 
      D                 A 
Every day for nigh on a year 
     A 
They say we got tangled in a love triangle 
D                       F 
A fatal game of truth or dare 
       
        E 
But the truth remains a mystery and now it's ancient history 
       (E)

                    A                 D 
It's just a Choctaw County affair

F                             A               D 
Well, people talkin' 'bout it everywhere  
                               (Choctaw County affair) 
 
      A 
Well, Cassie O'Grady was no Southern lady 
D                      A 
Despite all the media hype 
         A 
They all loved to make her out like a sweet little devout 
D                        A 
All-American cheerleader type 
        A 
But her mind was cattywampus, she was greedy, she was pompous 
D                                     F 
Strutting 'round with her nose in the air 
 
 
          E 
She was a cold gold-digger tickling a hand trigger 
        (E) 
It's a Choctaw County affair  
                    A      D                   
It's just a Choctaw County affair

    F                  A               D 
And now they say she's lying dead somewhere  
                       (Choctaw County affair) 
 
        A                     
Well, I do not deny I wished Cassie would die 
         D                  A 
When she threatened us with blackmail 
         A 
She said she had some information that would wreck my reputation 
    D                  A      
And land Bobby back in jail 
         A                                           D 
Now it's best to remember Bobby Shaver's got a temper 
                         F 
Like a buck-shot grizzly bear 
 
               E                  
But there's no body, there's no witness, so y'all go mind your business 
       (E)

    F                             A                         D 
Oh, you mess with Bobby and you better beware  
                                (Choctaw County affair) 
F    A 
Yeah yeah-yeah, hey, yeah 
 
          A   
Well, the press went wild on the day of the trial 
         D                      A 
When they put us on the witness stand 
                  A 
They thought we'd turn on each other, but soon they all discovered 
         D                    A 
We were live-or-die, hand in hand 
         A 
And that fancy D.A. from down Jackson way 
D                                F 
Said he'd see us in the electric chair, ha 
 
        E 
But the foreman of the jury told me "honey, don't you worry" 
       (E)                          A               D
