Em G Well, I killed a man in Birmingham C G I hit him with a tire iron Em G C G He did not move and I do not give a damn I've been working here like a slave mule Sucking the earth of dry crude Looking for a way out of it all Cops are comin' I can feel em’ here My back is crawling with standing hair 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 That night out there in Birmingham that boy he tried to rob me I did not want to but I had to show that boy the real me That night I often wonder what my tombstone will say? Would it mention any of my good or just the evil in my days? The dust has not settled from the boys that busted in I am not a bad man but there's bullets in my skin Chorus: Take me down to the river My blood all on the floor 'Cause I don't know if I can carry this weight much longer anymore Take me up the mountain On a cloud bound for the sky Don't go prayin' for me because tonight I'm prepared to die Well I killed a man in Birmingham that boy he tried to rob me I did not want to but I had to show that boy the real me | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
