_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] I kill old man [G] in Birmingham [C] I hit him [G] with a tire iron
[Em] And I'm moving [G] I do not give [C] a damn _ _ [G] _ _ I've [Em] been working here [G] like a slave mule
[C] Sucking the earth [G] dry crude [Em] _ Looking for a [G] way out [C] of it all
The [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] cops are coming [G] I can feel them here
[C] My back's crawling [G] with standing _ [Em] hair
Wouldn't mind [G] to see a few pigs [C] fall _ _
_ [G] _ So take [Em] me down to [G] the river
_ [C] I belong _ [G] on the floor
_ _ [E] I don't know [G] if I can carry this weight [C] much longer _ [G] anymore
_ _ [E] Take me up [G] the mountain
_ [C] On a cloud bound for [G] the sky
_ _ [E] Don't [G] go praying for [C] me
Because tonight I'm prepared [Ab] to die
[Em] Oh _ _ _ [G] oh _ _ [C] _ _
oh oh [G] _ _ oh [E] oh oh [G] oh

Well [E] I'm not out there [G] in Birmingham
[C] That boy ain't trying [G] to rob me
_ [E] Didn't know I want [G] to
But I had [C] to show that boy [G] the real me
[Em] In a night I often [G] wonder
If [C] my _ tombstone [G] will settle
_ [E] Would it mention any of [G] my good
Or just [C] the evil in [G] my fate
_ _ [Em] _ Thus it has been [G] settled
[C] From the boys that [G] busted in
_ _ [E] I [G] am not a bad man
But there's bullets in my skin
So [Em] take me down to [G] the river
_ [C] I belong on [G] the floor
_ _ [E] I don't [G] know if I can carry this weight [C] much longer _ [G] anymore
_ [Em] _ Take me up [G] the mountain
_ [C] On a cloud bound for the [G] sky
_ _ _ [E] Don't go [G] praying for me
Because [C] tonight [G] I'm prepared to die
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] Oh oh _ [G] oh oh oh oh [E] oh oh _ [G] oh
