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
