Key: Bb Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: G G Em Verse 1: G If anybody cares to know where I learned to bum a smoke Em And why "Folsom Prison Blues" could make me cry G I keep my cards close to my chest, I got scars on my fists Em 'Cause I'm too quick to stand up for my pride Refrain: C D Em D C It don't bother me to be alone and I feel right at home in the dark G D G I've spent some time behind bars
Verse 2: G It ain't as bad as you might think, we laughed and talked, and cussed and drank Em And didn't wanna leave once we were in G Saw some things I can't forget, and I got friends that ain't out yet Em And I stop by and see them now and then Refrain: C D Em D C I'm still a branded man who likes a cover band and a shot of Maker's Mark G D G I've spent some time behind bars Bridge: C I shot the bull, I killed some time D Drowned some memories 'til they died G Confessed my soul to strangers G I've never met a stranger C When I was free to go Am All I could say was, "Set 'em up, Joe" Em C When I go there, man, I go there hard D G I've spent some time behind bars Em (Ooh-ooh) Verse 3: G You can see my history is tattooed all over me Em D If you know what you're looking for G I'll admit it's tough sometimes to walk a straight and narrow line Em Instead of walking through those swinging doors Refrain: C D Em C If you think I'm what you need, you need to know before I steal your heart G D G C I've spent some time behind bars Outro: G D G Em D G I've spent some time behind bars
