VERSE:
      C       F   F     C
Well I`m grinding my life out, steady and sure
 C       F         F     C
Nothing more wretched, then what I must endure
   C        F      F       C
I`m drenched in the light that shines from the sun
     C      F       F       C
I could stone you to death for the wrongs that you done
 Am         Dm   Am
Sooner or later you make a mistake,
 Am                Dm     Am
I`ll put you in a chain that you never will break
 C    F    F    C
Legs and arms and body and bone
C     F     F   C
I pay in blood, but not my own

Night after night, Day after day

They strip your useless hopes away

The more I take the more I give
   C   F    F   C
The more I die the more I live
    Am                Dm    Am
I got something in my pocket make your eyeballs swim
    Am         Dm    Am
I got dogs could tear you limb from limb
   C     F    F    C
I`m circlin` around the Southern Zone
C     F     F   C
I pay in blood, but not my own

Low cards are what I`ve got
But I`ll play this hand whether I like it or not
I`m sworn to uphold the laws of God
You could put me out in front of a firing squad
   Am Dm Am
   Am Dm Am
I`ve been out and around with the rising men
Just like you my handsome friend

My head`s so hard, must be made of stone
C     F     F   C
I pay in blood, but not my own

Another politician coming out the abyss
Another angry beggar blowing you a kiss
You got the same eyes that your mother does
If only you could prove who your father was
   Am Dm Am
   Am Dm Am
Someone must of slipped a drug in yer wine
You gulped it down and you cross the line
   C F F C
Man can`t live by bread alone
C     F     F   C
I pay in blood, but not my own

How I made it back home, nobody knows
Or how I survived so many blows
I`ve been thru Hell, What good did it do?
You bastard! I`m suppose to respect you!
   Am Dm Am
   Am Dm Am
I`ll give you justice, I`ll fathom your purse
Show me your moral that you reversed

Hear me holler and hear me moan
C     F     F   C
I pay in blood, but not my own

You get your lover in the bed
Come here I`ll break your lousy head
Our nation must be saved and freed
You`ve been accused of murder, how do you plead?
   Am Dm Am
   Am Dm Am
This is how I spend my days
I came to bury, not to raise
   C F F C
I`ll drink my fill and sleep alone
C     F     F   C
I pay in blood, but not my own
