[Intro]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
[Verse 1]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
Early one August mornin’,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
ridin’ down highway forty five
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
Lookin’ thru the bars on the window,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
my mind’s kickin’ into overdrive
[Verse 2]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
I shot a man outside of Houston,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
Three years ago last night
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
I can't remember why I killed him,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
But I know he surely had to die
[Chorus]
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
I ain’t never been a righteous man
Bbm C# Fm
My heart’s as dark as the night
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
But I sure wanna shed these prison blues
Bbm C# Fm Bbm
For shades of black and white
[Instrumental]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
[Verse 3]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
Our binds start to shake and rattle,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
The work day’s just begun
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
The chain gang’s endless sorrow,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
My soul has come undone
[Verse 4]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
Out of the trees he came a-walkin’,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
Fire in his eyes
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
Nobody else could see him,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
But I knew I surely had to die
[Chorus]
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
I ain’t never been a righteous man
Bbm C# Fm
My heart’s as dark as the night
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
But I sure wanna shed these prison blues
Bbm C# Fm Bbm
For shades of black and white
[Instrumental]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
[Verse 5]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
He called my name like he knew me,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
I couldn’t look away
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
His kindness burned right thru me,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
As I bowed my head to pray
[Verse 6]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
I felt all my shackles loosen,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
As I dropped down to one knee
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
While I know I’m never gonna leave here,
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
This man had set me free
[Chorus]
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
I ain’t never been a righteous man
Bbm C# Fm
My old heart’s dark as the night
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
And I ain’t gonna shed these prison blues
Bbm C# Fm Bbm
But I will be alright
[Instrumental]
Fm Bbm Fm Bbm Fm Bbm
[Chorus]
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
I ain’t never been a righteous man
Bbm C# Fm
My old heart’s dark as the night
Ab Bbm Fm Ab
And I ain’t gonna shed these prison blues
Bbm C# Fm Bbm
But I will be alright
