Branded Man

Merle Haggard

G C G

I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am

D

But they won't let my secret go untold

G C G

I paid the debt I owed them,but they're still not satisfied

D G

Now I'm a branded man out un the cold

G C G

When they let me out of prison,I held my head up high

D

Determined I would rise above the shame

G C G

But no matter where I'm living,the black mark follows me

D G

I'm branded with a number on my name

Repeat verse 1

G C G

If I live to be a hundred,I guess I'll never clear my name

D

'Cause everybody knows I've been in jail

G C G

No matter where I'm living,I've got to tell them where I've been

D G

Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail

Repeat verse 1

D G

Now I'm a branded man out un the cold
