^AmGod said don't give me your ^Amtin horn prayers And d^Amon't buy roses from the st^Amreet down there T^Dmook it all and took the ^Dmdirt road home Dr^Ameaming of Jenny with the l^Amight brown hair N^E7ight is falling like a bl^Amoody axe L^E7ies and rumours and the w^Amind at my back H^E7and on the wheel, G^Amravel on the road Will the p^E7awn shop sell me ^E7back what I sold

I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Father, I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my M^E7other I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my brother, Down t^E7o the po^Amnd

^AmBirds cry a warning from a h^Amidden branch Ca^Amrving out a future with a ^Amgun and an axe I'm ^Dmway beyond the gavel and the l^Dmaws of man Still l^Amiving in the palm of the g^Amrace of your hand The w^E7orld's not easy the b^Amlind man said T^E7urns on nothing but m^Amoney and dread D^E7ogs been scratching at the d^Amoor all night L^E7ong necked birds flying out of the m^E7oonlight

I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Father, I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my M^E7other I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my brother, Down ^E7to the p^Amond, D^Amown ^E7to the ^Ampond

S^Ammack dab in the middle of a d^Amirty lie The s^Amtar spangled glitter of his ^Amone good eye Eve^Dmrybody knows that the g^Dmame was rigged Ju^Amstice wears suspenders and a pow^Amdered wig D^E7ark town alleys been h^Amiding you L^E7ong bell tolling is your Wa^Amterloo ^E7Oh baby w^Amhat can you do Does the l^E7ight of God blind you, Or l^E7ead the way home for you

I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Father, I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my M^E7other I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my brother, Down ^E7to the p^Amond, D^Amown ^E7to the p^Amond

INST: AS VERSE

I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Father, I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my M^E7other I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my brother, Down ^E7to the p^Amond, D^Amown ^E7to the p^Amond

G^Amod almighty for righ^Amteousness sake H^Amumilation of our fa^Amllen state Wr^Dmitten in the Book of T^Dmubal Cain A l^Among black coat will s^Amhow no stain ^E7 Feel the heat and the b^Amurn on your back The ^E7rip and the moan, The st^Amretch of the rack ^E7 All my belongings in a fl^Amour sack Will the p^E7lace I come from t^E7ake me back

I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Father, I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my M^E7other I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my brother, Down ^E7to the p^Amond, D^Amown ^E7to the p^Amond

They'll h^Amang me in the morning on a sca^Amffold yea big To d^Amance upon nothing to the Ty^Amburn jig T^Dmreats you like a puppet when you're u^Dmnder it's spell Oh the h^Ameart is Heaven, But the m^Amind is Hell J^E7esus of Nazareth told M^Amike of the weeds I's b^E7orn at this time for a re^Amason you see W^E7hen I'm dead I'll be d^Amead a long time But the w^E7ines so pleasing and ^E7so sublime

I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Father, I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my M^E7other I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my brother, Down ^E7to the p^Amond, D^Amown ^E7to the p^Amond

Ki^Amssed my sweetheart by the chi^Amnaball tree Ev^Amerything I done is between G^Amod and me O^Dmnly he will judge how my t^Dmime was spent Twe^Amntynine days of sinning and f^Amorty to repent ^E7 The horse is steady but the h^Amorse is blind Wi^E7cked are the branches on the t^Amree of mankind ^E7 The roots grow upward and the br^Amanches grow down It's m^E7uch too late to throw the ^E7dice again I've found

I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Father, I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my Mo^E7ther I'm gonna t^Amake the sins of my brother, Down ^E7to the p^Amond

I'm gonna w^Amash them, I'm gonna w^Amash them I'm gonna w^Amash the sins of my Fa^Amther I'm gonna w^Amash the sins of my M^E7other I'm gonna w^Amash the sins of my br^Amother Till the w^Amater runs c^Amlear, Till the w^Amater runs c^Amlear Till the w^Amater runs c^Amlear, Till the w^Amater runs c^Amlear
