Well, I killed a man in Birmingham
Csus2 G
I hit him with a tire iron
Em G Csus2 G
He did not move and I do not give a damn
Em
I've been working here
G
Like a slavin' mule
Sucking the earth dry of crude
Looking for a way out of it all
Cops are coming
I can feel 'em here
My back is crawling with standing hair
Wouldn't mind to see a few pigs fall
Em G So take me down to the river Csus2 G My blood all on the floor Em G Cause I don't know if I can carry this weight Csus2 G Much longer anymore Em G Take me up the mountain Csus2 G On a cloud bound for the sky Em G Don't go praying for me Csus2 G Because tonight I'm prepared to die
So take me down to the river
My blood all on the floor
Cause I don't know if I can carry this weight
Much longer anymore
Take me up the mountain
On a cloud bound for the sky
Don't go praying for me
Because tonight I'm prepared to die

Em G That night out there in Birmingham Csus2 G That boy who tried to rob me Em G I did not want to but I had to Csus2 G Show that boy the real me Em G At night I often wonder Csus2 G What my tombstone would say Em G Would they mention any of my good Csus2 G Or just evil in my days Em G The dust has now settled Csus2 G From those boys who busted in Em G I am not a bad man Csus2 G But there's bullets in my skin
That night out there in Birmingham
That boy who tried to rob me
I did not want to but I had to
Show that boy the real me
At night I often wonder
What my tombstone would say
Would they mention any of my good
Or just evil in my days
The dust has now settled
From those boys who busted in
I am not a bad man
But there's bullets in my skin
Em G Csus2 G Well, I killed a man in Birmingham, that boy he tried to rob me Em G Csus2 G I did not want to but I had to show that boy the real me
