The Man That I've Been

by Cory Morrow

Intro: E

Verse 1: E A E A

I spent my last two birthdays in the Travis County Jail

E A E B7

Tomorrow I go up for life but I should go straight to hell

B7 A E

Hell's got no more room for me and it's got no more time

A B7 E

I should be confessin' all my crimes

E A E A

Four years ago my debt was piled high upon my mind

E A E B7

And I devised a plan to rob a bank just to survive

B7

Oh, but when the gunsmoke cleared

A E

I saw two bodies on the ground

A B7 E

Thirteen hours later I was found

Chorus: B A E

Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I've been

B

'Cause in the waking of tomorrow

A E

They will find me full of sin

A E B E

I got news for you, I ain't as bad as they say

A E

I got news for you it looks like,

B A E

That just don't matter today

Instru: E A E B7 E

Verse 2: E A E A

Well the verdict came and right away, "Guilty Indeed"

E A B7

A 99 to life is what I heard that jury

Well, they thought they might impress upon me

A E

Crime it does not pay

A B7 E

I ain't one for listenin' today

E A E A

As the years go by and by upon a shadowed ground I walk

E A E B7

The people and the places of my past have now been lost

A E

The man that I've been is not the man I'd hoped to be

A B7 E

Now it's too late to find the good in me

Chorus: (2X)

Ending: E B A E

Ah, looks like it just don't matter today

Outro: E A E

Note: To get the same effect in the

intro as Cory does, you must

apply hammer-ons and pull-offs on

G string of E chord to alternate

between E and Em. Also in Chorus

you can use all Barre chords in

addition to using the B barre

chord. It will also work just

playing all chords open.
