Start Jamming...
Oh let me tell you a story friend
[G]
That you might learn
[Bb] To [Cm] stay away from [C] sin
I took a [Cm] life not mine to take
[B]
Imprisoned for this [F] hundred [Cm] mistake
My heart was holding my soul
They [Fm] sentenced me
To a life [Cm] where no one cared
All the same
And [Fm] I must wear
This number [Eb] for the [Cm] many
Now [Ab] I [Cm] lay [Fm] Unworthy stripes
Until the day [Cm] I die
[Ab] This ball that you threw [Cm] at me
[Fm] Won't drag me down
[G] When [Cm] I'm
[Fm] [F] [Gm] [Cm]
Afraid
So hard for me
[Fm] Cheated, blacked out
Down on [Cm] bended knees
The whole time I'm [G] Fear
[Fm] Buried beneath the [Gm] grace
Of the other woman's [Cm] family
Don't let the view
[C] Blind your [Cm] eyes
This world is filled
With discolored lies
For greener fields
Don't sell your soul
Go pick your [Fm] edge
For the pocket of gold
And [Ab] not to worry
[Cm] [Fm] Unworthy stripes
[F] Until the day I die
[G] This [Ab] ball that you threw [Cm] at me
[Fm]
[G] [Cm] [C]
[Cm] [Fm]
[Cm]
[Fm] [Gm] Won't drag me down
[Cm]
[A] [Cm] In this dark cell
Meant to be free
And I'm dying go to hell
God bless the day
Of my rebirth
I don't have [Fm] to pay
[G] The price I [Cm] deserve
Then [Ab] let you be
[Cm] [Fm] Unworthy stripes
Until the [Cm] day I [C] die
This [Ab] ball that you threw at [Cm] me
Won't [Fm] drag me down
Won't drag me down
[G] [Cm]
Don't [Ab] you dare [Cm] take my life
I'll [Fm] leave behind
[G] This world of black and [Cm] white
