Am

Verse 1:
          Am                        C
Well I am not the man I thought I'd be
            G                 Am
I'??ve fallen short of any sympathy
              F                           C
And I'??ve been pleading with God to set me free

O I have tried and I have failed

And I have burned some bridges on my trail
           F                          C
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
          Am             Am7/G F
Lord I've stumbled toward Oblivion

But you followed me

Verse 2:
          Am                         C
O and the coyotes are always calling me
          G                        Am
Oh with a mourning howl and cursed scream
      F                  C
And I feel their pain in everything
  Am                 Am7/G  F
I believe that I was one of them
                C Em Am
In some distant dream

And I have burned some bridges on my trail
           F                          C
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
          Am             Am7/G F
Lord I've stumbled toward Oblivion
                 C Em Am
But you followed me o!

Verse 3:
                   Am                   C
When the Lord made me, he made a loaded gun
           G                                Am
And I have beat better men that should have won
                 F                             C
But when they're pleading from mercy from your right hand
                Am           Am7/G     F
I swear there?'s not a single difference
          C                   C Em Am
Between a crook and an honest man o!

           G                         Am
And I have burned some bridges on my trail
           F                          C
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
          Am             Am7/G F
