Branded Man
Merle Haggard

Intro G+G  G7G7  G+G


              G7G7    C majorC       G+G
I`d like to hold my head up  and be proud of who I am
                 D MajorD  A augmentedA D MajorD
But they won`t let my secret go untold
 G+G        G7G7          C majorC       G+G
I paid the debt I owed `em but they`re still not satisfied
         D MajorD       G+G
Now I`m a branded man out in the cold

            G7G7    C majorC        G+G
When they let me out of prison I held my head up high
                 D MajorD   A augmentedA D MajorD
Determined I would rise above the shame
    G+G         G7G7    C majorC         G+G
But no matter where I`m living the black mark follows me
          D MajorD      G+G
I`m branded with a number on my name


          G7G7       C majorC       G+G
I`d like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
                 D MajorD  A augmentedA D MajorD
But they won`t let my secret go untold
 G+G        G7G7          C majorC       G+G
I paid the debt I owed `em but they`re still not satisfied
         D MajorD       G+G   D MajorD  G+G G7G7 G+G
Now I`m a branded man out in the cold


G+G           G7G7        C majorC       G+G
If I live to be a hundred I guess I`ll never clear my name
                  D MajorD   A augmentedA D MajorD
`Cause everybody knows I`ve been in jail
  G+G          G7G7       C majorC        G+G
No matter where I`m living I`ve got to tell them where I`ve been
              D MajorD      G+G
Or they`ll send me back to prison if I fail


           G7G7      C majorC       G+G
I`d like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
                 D MajorD  A augmentedA D MajorD
But they won`t let my secret go untold
 G+G        G7G7          C majorC       G+G
I paid the debt I owed `em but they`re still not satisfied
         D MajorD       G+G
Now I`m a branded man out in the cold
         D MajorD       G+G   G7G7
Now I`m a branded man out in the cold
