Verse 1:
       Em              G
Well I killed a man in Birmingham
  C              G
I hit him with a tire iron

He did not move and I do not give a damn

          Em
I’ve been working here
       G
Like a slavin’ mule
C                 G
Sucking the earth dry of crude
Em            G                C     G
Looking for a way out of it all

Em
Cops are coming
      G
I can feel em’ here
   C                     G
My back is crawling with standing hair
Em               G                  C     G
Wouldn’t mind to see a few pigs fall


Chorus:
           Em          G
So take me down to the river
   C                G
My blood all on the floor
Em                          G
Cause i don't know if i can carry this weight
     C         G
Much longer anymore

Em             G
Take me up the mountain
     C                   G
On a cloud bound for the sky
Em                   G
Don't go praying for me
        C                       G
Because tonight i'm prepared to die


Interlude:
Em G C G (2x)


Verse 2:
    Em      G
And I often wonder
        C               G
What my tombstone would say
     Em                      G
Would they mention any of my good
        C          G
Or just evil in my days

    Em                  G
That night out there in Birmingham
     C                G
That boy who tried to rob me
  Em              G
I did not want to but i had to
C                 G
Show that boy the real me


Chorus:
           Em          G
So take me down to the river
   C                G
My blood all on the floor
Em                          G
Cause i don't know if i can carry this weight
     C         G
Much longer anymore

Em             G
Take me up the mountain
     C                   G
On a cloud bound for the sky
Em                   G
Don't go praying for me
        C                       G
Because tonight i'm prepared to die


Verse 3:
    Em           G
The dust has now settled
           C               G
From those boys who busted in
  Em       G
I am not a bad man
            C             G
But there's bullets in my skin


Chorus:
           Em          G
So take me down to the river
   C                G
My blood all on the floor
Em                          G
Cause i don't know if i can carry this weight
     C         G
Much longer anymore

Em             G
Take me up the mountain
     C                   G
On a cloud bound for the sky
Em                   G
Don't go praying for me
        C                       G
Because tonight i'm prepared to die
