Bb majorBb FF  C7C7 FF



Verse 1:
  FF             Bb majorBb      FF
Oh
I was born a good boy, my mama loved me so
    Bb majorBb      FF          G7G7       C7C7
And she gave me every chance she could to make my life a gold
   FF                  Bb majorBb         FF
But I fell in with the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on
  Bb majorBb        FF           C7C7   FF
But I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong

 C7C7            Bb majorBb         FF
I went to the places where sin just waits for you
   C7C7                Bb majorBb       FF
And I fell in with the wrong crowd like sinners always do
  FF             Bb majorBb       FF
Now here I sit in prison just waiting for the day
Bb majorBb          FF           C7C7      FF
When they'll lead me through that door and burn my life away

Chorus:
  FF              Bb majorBb       FF
Oh, mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own
  Bb majorBb        FF           C7C7   FF
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong


Interlude:
Bb majorBb FF   C7C7 FF


Chorus:
  FF              Bb majorBb       FF
Oh, mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own
  Bb majorBb        FF           C7C7   FF
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
