                  C                 G7             Em7
Ain't got time to shoot the breeze, got no time to blow

Excuse me mister if you please.......I gotta go

                        C                    G7              Em7
Born one mornin' on the day of the dead in a bombed out bungalow

   Am              C               Em7          Am
My momma kissed my cheek and said.......I gotta go

[Verse 2]
                  C         G7          Em7
They put me in an orphanage west of Tupelo

Am                C                  Em7          Am
I told 'em when I burnt that bridge.......I gotta go

             C         G7               Em7
Stole a car, got a gun robbed the Hidey-Ho

Am             C           Em7          Am
I left Memphis on the run.......I gotta go
[Chorus 2]

               C            G7               Em7
Five card stud deuces wild, three kings in a row

  Am                  C                 Em7          Am
I turned that diamond deuce and smiled.......I gotta go

                      C             G7                Em7
They tracked me down, took my take, brother don't you know

  Am                     C             Em7          Am
I told 'em boys, there's some mistake.......I gotta go
[Chorus 3]
F       C             G7          Am                   F              Em7          Am
I gotta go somewhere......I gotta go.....Waistin' time standin' here.......I gotta go

              C                     G7                     Em7
Cold steel up against my head, they turned the lights down low

   Am              C            Em7          Am
In case you didn't hear I said.......I gotta go

               C               G7               Em7
These are your very last words say 'em nice and slow

Am               C                 Em7  Am
My last words on this planet were
[Chorus 4]
F       C             G7          Am                   F              Em7          Am
I gotta go somewhere......I gotta go.....Waistin' time standin' here.......I gotta go

F       C             G7          Am                   F              Em7          Am
