[F#] [A] [E]
[B] [F#] [D] [E]
[Bm] I [F#] was [E] born
[F#] [F#m] next [E] door to the [Bm] gutter
[F#] For [E] no reason I was torn away
[F#m] From the [A] loving breast of [E] my mother
[F#m] [E]
[B] [Am] [E]
[Bm] [F#m] Mama, what did you do to your [B] little boy?
Put him on a [A] long, cold, blue school [B] bus
[F#] Send him [A] far [E] from the loving [F#] joy
Poisoning [A] the mind [E] of us
[A] And you call [G] my [D] name
[F#m] Things will [F] never be [B] the same
And [Em] I [Bm] don't [D] want to cry anymore
[E] Don't say [D] bye-bye anymore
[Em] I [Bm] am going [D] far, [A] far away
[G] And I'm gonna live [C] my [C] life my [Am] way
[Bm]
[F#m] You [E]
[Bm] [F#m] [E]
[Bm] [F#m] told [A] me when I [E] come of [Bm] age
The [F#m] time would be [A] right for me to [E] meet the sage
[Bm] But I [F#m] put him [A] in a [E] terrible rage
[Bm] When I [F#m] pointed out to him [A] that he was on the [E] wrong page
[A] And he called [G] my [D] name
[F#m] Well, it [F] drove me [B] insane
And [Em] I [Bm] don't [D] want to cry anymore
[E] Don't [D] say bye-bye anymore
[Em] I am [Bm] going far, [A] far away
[G] And I'm gonna live [C] my life [A] my way
[Bm] I [E]
[Bm] [F#m] [D] [E]
[Bm] [F#m] don't [A] want to [E] go over the [Bm] water
Take [F#m] back your gun, I [A] won't kill [E] my [Bm] brother
I'd [F#m] sooner go [A] home and [E] cut up my mother
[Bm] But you [F#m] know you won't get [A] any [E] other
[A] No mother, no [G] brother
[D] Only [F#m] one [F] child, [B] not another
And [Em] I [Bm] won't [D] cry [E] anymore
[Em] [Bm] Won't say [D] bye-bye anymore
[Em] I [D] am going far, [A] far away
[G] And I'm gonna live my [C] life my [A] way
Watch and [Bm] see me [F#m] now
[A] I'm on [Bm] my way
[F#m] [D] [E] [Bm] [F#m] [A] [E]
[Bm] [F#m] [A] [E]
[Bm] [F#m] [A] [E]
[Bm] [F#]
