[C] [Gm]

[C] [G]
You might be a rich man
[C] living high up [Gm] on the hill
[G]
Coming down to shantytown
[C] Just [G] for a thrill.
I might be a prisoner
[C] Waiting on [G] death row
No [C] matter who you are when your time is come
You [D] got to go
[Gm] [G]
Feeling mighty lonesome
[C] Hey behind these [G] bars
Counting off the days
[C] Count [Gm] my scars.
[G]
I
Can't tell a future
[Cm] But this [Bb] I know
[G] [C] When my counting days are over
[E] [D] I [G] got to go
[Gm] [G]
You came to the world
[Cm] To give you a [G] silver spoon.
I
Was born in a [Cm] shotgun shack
on the [Gm] last day of June
[G]
I'm about to leave this [C] world my friend
[G] without much to show
[C] I'm so glad I got to say my soul
[G] Before I go
[Gm] [C] [G]
[D] You're gonna remember my [C] song
