[Ab] [Eb] [Db]
[Ab] I'm moving out [Eb] of Tombstone with [Db] the sun behind my back
[Ab] I'm tired of people [Eb] talking of [Db] things that I lack
[Bbm] Ever since a week ago, the day I passed [Ab] away
I've been taking too much [Eb] notice [Db] of the things they had to say
[Ab] All they say [Eb] is you ain't [Db] half the man you used to be
[Ab] He had strength [Eb] and worked his [Db] life to feed his family
[Bbm] So if that's the way it has to be, [Db] I'll say goodbye to [Ab] you
I'm not that guy, [Eb] so it [Db] seems, to fill my old man's shoes
[Ab] Like I'm a winky [Eb] way of life, [Db] the kind that should [Ab] be tamed
They like to see [Eb] me locked in jail, [Db] tied up in [Ab] their chains
Oh, it's hard and [Bb] I can't see [Db] what they want me [Ab] to do, Lord
They seem to think [Gb] I just step into [Db] the old [Ab] man's shoes
Oh, it's hard and [Bb] I can't see [Db] what they want me [Ab] to do, Lord
They seem to think [Gb] I just step into [Db] the old [Ab] man's shoes
[Eb] [Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Db] [Ab] Now they all been [Eb] saying that [Db] it's good to see me gone
[Ab] And saying what [Eb] a shame it was [Db] my father had a son
But [Bbm] I don't care, cause now I'm free [Db] of those small [Ab] nagging few
The people that want me [Eb] to live inside [Db] my old man's shoes
[Ab] Like I'm a winky [Eb] way of life, [Db] the kind that should be [Ab] tamed
They like to see [Eb] me locked in jail, [Db] tied up in [Ab] their chains
Oh, it's hard and [Bb] I can't see [Db] what they want me [Ab] to do, Lord
They seem to think [Gb] I just step into [Db] the old man's [Ab] shoes
Yes, it's hard and [Bb] I can't see [Db] what they want me [Ab] to do, Lord
