They tell my story,

If you don't feel it you can never understand
        Gm   C          Gm      C Gm
So many times I thought about it
          Bb                F             G5
And now I know just what it means to be a man

All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
              Bb                 F           G5
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
        Gm            C                Gm     C Gm
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
               Bb               F                  G5
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong

I never wait, or hesitate.

I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
