Intro (with drums, Don!)    E   C

E        C
Aaaaaahhhh

E			G
The heat of a summer day
G                    G   A
Down and Down on my back
A            A            A    E
Work like a dog in the sunlight
E          E          E
Tryin' to pay the people back
E	    G                   A
I killed a man in the springtime
A      A-E              E
Had to happen just to make it damn
E          G          A 	     E
To buy my baby the things that she needs
E                            G
I guess I didn't think twice
                  		A
And now I have to pay the price
			       E
For killing a man of another creed

E      C  D   E	     C
Aaaaahhh   aaaahh  aaah

E

Bm         F#m              Bm
I guess I have to be strong
Bm              F#m               D  D#  E
The rest of my life can't be too long
E        G            A
I know I die some day
 A               E
And we're going far away
 E	 	G            A              E
And you won't remember the things that I've done.


E
I feel a shedding tear
G
It's only been a year
A
But I know I'll be dead
		 E
When that ev'ning comes


E	C  D	E	C       E
Aaaaaahhh    aaaah   aaaaah

E E

e:----------------|
B:----------------|

E:----------------|

and change into Bm

Bm         F#m              Bm
I guess I have to be strong
Bm              F#m               D  D#  E
The rest of my life can't be too long
