_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ All my life, I ain't [G] never been a lucky man
Saw the back of [D] my daddy's hand
Lost her mama [Am] to the promised land
_ In my time, I ain't never [G] had a thing that's mine
Till they handed me [D] a baby fine, my [Am] little girl _ _
_ There are only [G] two things I [A] know
I get ugly when the whiskey flows
[Am] Wanted you to know I love you [E] so
And I would kill before I let you _ _ go
If _ [Am] _ _ you left for [G] Mississippi
Wearing someone else's name
[D]
Brought you in this world
And I [E] can take [G] you from it [Am] just the same
If you leave for Mississippi
[G] I will beat you at your [D] game
Brought you in this world
And [E] I can take you [G] from it just the same
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ My dear wife
Heard you [G] whispering your plans to her
Off to [D] marry some rich man's son
I bet [Am] he's never met a poor man's gun _
_ In the darkness you [G] could not [D] see
The drunken devil [Am] obstructing [A] me
Two [Am] bullets and a crimson sea
[E] Now I'm certain that you'll never _ _ _ be
[Am] Take you for Mississippi
[G] Wearing someone else's [A] name
Brought you in this world
And [E] I can take you [G] from it just the [Am] same
If you leave for Mississippi
I will beat you at your [D] game
Brought you in this world
And I [E] can take you [G] from it just [Am] the same

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Grief and sin
When the [G] righteousness elucidates
And the blood [D] in my veins [Dm] begins
To [Am] ramble on _ _
Now I know we can't
Stand and judge the [G]
execution man
But we all have to make a trembling [Dm] stand
[D] [G] Before [Am] the sun _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Maple [C] tree _
_ [G] Can [Am] your branches carry
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ Before [A] the war, before [G] the white
Before [D] I stole [Am] what wasn't mine
Can you [F] bring [E] my baby back [Am] to me
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
