[Intro]
Em G Csus2 G (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em G 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 Csus2 G Sucking the earth dry of crude Em G Csus2 G Looking for a way out of it all Em Cops are coming G I can feel 'em here Csus2 G My back is crawling with standing hair Em G Csus2 G Wouldn't mind to see a few pigs fall
[Chorus]
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 N.C. G N.C. Don't go praying for me Csus2 N.C. G N.C. Because tonight I'm prepared to die
[Interlude]
Em G Csus2 G (x4)
[Verse 2]
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 N.C. G N.C. I am not a bad man Csus2 N.C. G N.C. But there's bullets in my skin
[Chorus]
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
