Am           C              G     Fmaj7
I don't know where we've been

Am                C              G    Fmaj7
Could you tell me where we are again?

Am          C           G   Fmaj7
And Jesus is my only friend

No one else knows who I am

Spent my days looking for what my daddy lost

No one knows how he felt

Am           C              G     Fmaj7
Hung himself in the country jail

Am                   C             G       Fmaj7
There were those who said he would burn in hell

Am                 C             G     Fmaj7
I don't think they knew him very well

Fearful eyes don't see very far

Am           C              G     Fmaj7
Drivin' in my daddy's car

Am           C              G     Fmaj7
Ashtray full of his cigars

Am         C              G     Fmaj7
Is it real what I see?

Am        C              G     Fmaj7
His ghost ridin' next to me

Am                C              G     Fmaj7
'Till he's gone I won't be free

Am              C          G     Fmaj7
From the burden of his misery

[Verse 6]
Am               C              G     Fmaj7
I don't know the neighbourhood

Am           C        G     Fmaj7
Mostly he was misunderstood

Am           C              G     Fmaj7
In his heart the bad beat the good

Am           C              G     Fmaj7
Used to be a time I'd have killed him if I could
