Capo 1
Tonality
BmGAD
The young man stands on the edge of his porch
EmBmEmF#
The days were short and the father was gone
BmGAD
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
EmBmEmF#
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
BmGAD
Iʼve been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
EmBmEmF#
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
BmGAD
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
EmBmEmF#
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
BmGAD
So collect your courage and collect your horse
EmBmEmF#
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
BmGAD
Seal my heart and brake my pride
EmBmEmF#
Iʼve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
BmGAD
Align my heart, my body, my mind
EmBmEmF#
To face what Iʼve done and do my time
BmGAD
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
EmBmEmF#
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
BmGAD
So one man has and another has not
EmBmEmF#
How can you love what it is you have got
BmGAD
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
EmBmEmF#
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
BmGAD
There will come a time I will look in your eye
EmBmEmF#
You will pray to the God that you always denied
BmGAD
The Iʼll go out back and Iʼll get my gun
EmBmEmF#
Iʼll say, "You havenʼt met me, I am the only son"
BmGAD
Seal my heart and brake my pride
EmBmEmF#
Iʼve nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
BmGAD
Align my heart, my body, my mind
EmBmEmF#
To face what Iʼve done and do my time
BmGAD
Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
EmBmEmF#
I know what Iʼve done, cause I know what Iʼve seen
BmGAD
I went out back and I got my gun
EmBmEmF#
I said, "You havenʼt met me, I am the only son"
