Cm G# A# D# The young man stands on the edge of his porch Fm Cm Fm Gm The days were short and the father was gone Cm G# A# D# There was no one in the town and no one in the field Fm Cm Fm Gm This dusty barren land had given all it could yield I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen And I have no idea where else my heart could have been I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill And now I am sure my heart will never be still So collect your courage and collect your horse And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse Chorus: Cm G# A# D# Seal my heart and brake my pride Fm Cm Fm Gm I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide Cm G# A# D# Align my heart, my body, my mind Fm Cm Fm Gm To face what I've done and do my time Well, you are my accuser, now look in my face Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace So one man has, and another has not How can you love what it is you have got When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor? Liars and thieves, you know not what is in store There will come a time I will look in your eye You will pray to the God that you've always denied Then I'll go out back and I'll get my gun I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son" Chorus - x2 Cm G# D# Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me Fm Cm Fm Gm I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen Cm G# A# D# I went out back and I got my gun Fm Cm Fm A# Cm I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son" You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# Cm D# Fm Gm G# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
