Capo 3 – Drop D Tuning
You can hear a walk down on the last line as well and it is like this
While staying in the G chord shape:

I Fcame to tell my story to all these Fyoung and eager Cminds
To Flook in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright Feyes
FStories of corruption, crime and Fkilling, yes it's Ctrue
FGreed and fixed elections, guns and drugs and whores and Fbooze
It's been a while since I put on a suit of my own clothes
And even longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong
I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
Bridge:
I Cused to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit
I had a .F45 underneath my coat and another one in my Fboot
I Cdrove a big ole Cadillac, bought a new one anytime I pleased
And I Fput more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonFseed
I spent a few years on vacation, sanctioned by the state I mentioned
But a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from
The meanest of the mean, I see you lock away and toss the key
But they're all just loud mouth punks to me, I've scraped meaner off my shoe
Bridge 2:
Somewhere, I ain't saying, there's a hole that holds a judge
The last one that I dug myself and I must admit I was
Sad to lay him in it, but I did the best I could
Once his Honor grows a conscience, well folks, that there just ain't no good
Bridge 3:
There's a pretty Fgirl out there said "Daddy, you stay coFol tonight
FAll I need from you is to come home and be here by my Fside
Say Fwhat you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their Fmouths
F F/F#
If they was tFo tie a noose, they'd have to lay their Bibles down"
I ain't here to save no souls and even if I could
I could never save enough to put back half the ones I took
So if they rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me
They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee
