Am
I've had seven weeks in County, boys

C              G      Am
But I won’t blame The Man

Am
I've won and lost some poker chips

C             G       Am
But I don't blame the hand

           F
It's been seven years of famine

      Am
But I never blamed the land

Am
Just give me peace and quiet, Boss

Am           Em      Am
I'll take it where I can

Am
Just give me peace and quiet, Boss

Am           Em      Am
I'll take it where I can
[Chorus]
        F
My only enemy

          Am
Is out to get me

           F                 Am
To make me pay for what I've done

            F
He's out to catch me

                         Am
And he's on the trail to find me

                      Dm           Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does

                      Dm           Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
[Verse 2]
Am
There’s a hunger in my belly

      C        G     Am
And a pounding in my head

Am
The buzzards turn impatiently

C         G       Am
Expecting I'll be dead

        F
Desert sun is burning high above

   Am
My shadow can't find shade

Am
I bought seven weeks in County

       Am      Em    Am
To lay in that bed I made

Am
I bought seven weeks in County

       Am      Em    Am
To lay in that bed I made
[Chorus]
        F
My only enemy

          Am
Is out to get me

           F                 Am
To make me pay for what I've done

            F
He's out to catch me

                         Am
And he's on the trail to find me

                      Dm           Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does

                      Dm           Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
[Verse 3]
Am
Each day I see his evil eyes

    C       G      Am
The man who put me here

Am
I see him when I shave my face

   C        G    Am
So guilty in the mirror

F
Looking back disgusted

       Am
With a hollow hateful stare

Am
For seven weeks in County

Am              Em    Am
And for always, every-where

Am
For seven weeks in County

Am              Em    Am
And for always, every-where
[Chorus]
        F
My worst enemy

          Am
Is out to get me

           F                 Am
To make me pay for what I've done

     F
He's out to catch me

         Am
And he's on the trail to find me

                      Dm           Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does

                      Dm           Am
Sure as hell he’ll whip me when he does
