Used to be younger, out on the hard streets,
Gettin' high on crystal, drinkin' scotch and smokin' weed,
F G F x &(D-G/C-G-Gsus4-G-Dsus4)&
Daddy's wish used to be nothin' less than my command,
%F G F &(D-G/C-G-Gsus4-G-Dsus4)&%
Took to a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross with both hands,
xEm Dm Dm Dm x
Momma couldn't give me the thing a young boy needs,
Instead of momma sufferin' she was smart enough to leave,
%F & G & F &(D-G/C-G-Gsus4-G-Dsus4)&
Spent my life fightin' tryin' to stay free,
From trials and tribulation and the state penitantory,
Dm(oh, i know)
legend:
x ==> pick and strum like intro
& ==> this is just strummed while playing around with D
% ==> strum
*note: after this, it's just a very simple rhythm, if you know the tune *
%Dm Dm Dm Dm
I suppose really lookin' cool, just makin' both ends meet,
Until that day i saw you walkin', down Blue Angel Street,
F G F &G&
The sweetest lies of lily white, comin' from you lips,
You brush away all my pain, with a lazy finger tip!
DmIt moves my heart just Dmwatchin', Dmthe way you walk so Dmsmooth,
you save me from an evil fate, you steal 'way my blues,
F G F & G &
Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof,

Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!

This man loves you, this man loves you.

Goin' down that graveyard spiral, there was nothin' I could do,
Life treated me much harder, ?than me'in' an ole corkscrew?
