Well my father put a shame on me, said he wouldn't put his name on me
Said he wouldn't be the [Bb] first in his family, his son cried when he was born
Well he died the day I [Eb] got out of gun, said that he was proud that I was his son
That was right there [Bb] in his plan, I could grow up and be a man
And [Ab] there was a tear, I saw it in his eye, [Bb] he said he couldn't think of a better way to die
And the [Eb] Lord came down, and put a spoon in my mouth
It [Bb] tasted so bitter, but I couldn't spit it out
It [Eb] tasted like the money that my poor mama made
But [Bb] I went and stole it, cause she took it to the grave
[Ab] And there was a note, clenched in her right hand
[Bb] Said boy if you wanna live, better die like a brave man
[Eb] I don't wanna die in the middle of the night, I want brave men's death
[Bb]
[Eb] Been gasoline, burning my teeth, getting salt on the feet of my past
[Bb] Then the sun will come down with a milky white flash, I'll get my brave man's death at last
I [Eb] had a woman, she had some kids, she [Bb] said she loved them, I'll never die
Just the way [Eb] that they bleed, can take away what was young
My [Bb] wife and my soul, can do what needed to be done
The [Ab] day that she died, her cup was fully drained
[Bb] She said take all my love, and the life was worth the pain
I [Eb] don't wanna die in the middle of the night, I want brave men's death
[Bb] I don't wanna die in the middle of the night, I want brave men's death
[Eb] Been gasoline, burning my teeth, getting salt on the feet of my past
Then [Bb] the sun will come down with a milky white flash, I'll get my brave man's death at last
[Eb] Had a heart that's willing, but a back without a bone
And a body go to [Bb] wherever man would come home
I always had a knife in case a real [Ab] man came along
He turned his [D] head and his life was [Eb] gone
So I hold it in my [F] heart, yes I hold it in my heart
[Gm] No I hide it in my heart, cause it's tearing me apart
[Bb] Last thing that he said to me was blood was on my [D] hands
God I wanna die like a man
