[Am] [G] [D] I [C] [D]
[G] thought he was a barber, but he never [A] hurt [G] nobody.
He [D] just loved to live that [C] way, and he [D] loved to [G] steal your money.
[D] Some is rich, some is poor, not the [A] way it [G] ought to be.
But I [D] don't believe in lying [C] facts, [D] saying how [G] bad you're lucky.
[D] So we [G] can't trust it all, never [A] love the [G] shovel.
[D] Break your back to earn your [C] pay, [D] don't [G] forget to grovel.
Thought he was a bank robber, but he never [A] hurt [G] nobody.
[D] He just loved to live that [C] way, and he [D] loved to [G] take your money.
But I don't believe
[A] [G] in lying [C] [D]
[G] facts, saying how bad
[A] [G] you're lucky.
So [C] [D]
[G] we can't trust it all, never love the shovel.
No man spoke up in a bar, he said I'd [A] never been in [G] prison.
[D] A life I'd served in one [C] machine, was [D] ten times [G] worth my prison.
Imagine if all the boys in jail could get out [A] now [G] together.
[D] What do you think they'd want to say to [C] us, [D] while we would [G] be here forever?
Someday you'll meet your fucking chance, cause that's [A] where we're [G] spinning.
There's no point to what's on your [C] hat, [D] when it's [G] gray and you're bleeding.
[Am] [G] I'm in prison.
[C] [D]
[G] I'm [D] [G]
[Am] [G] in prison.
I'm in [C] [D] prison.
[G] Thought he was a bank robber, but he never [A] hurt [G] nobody.
He [D] just loved to live that [C] way, and he [D] loved to [G] steal your money.
So we can't trust it all, never [A] love the [G] shovel.
[D] Break your back to earn your [C] pay, and [D] don't [G] forget to rob.
Hey!
[A] [G] [C] [G]
Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away.
[Am] [G] [C] Thought [D]
[G] he was a bank robber, but he never [A] hurt [G] nobody.
He just loved to live that [C] way, and he [D] loved to [G] steal your money.
Run, brother, run.
[A] [G] [D] [C] [D]
[G] [C] Strike out, [G] father, by the hills.
I [D] can't find that hole in the wall.
I know that they [G] never let daddy walk.
[D] [A] [G] [D]
