Intro: B A/B E D

B A/B E D B

B

I was dealin' up and down the highway

E

Till they caught me with a heavy load

F#

They sentenced me to hard labor

E7 B

Workin' on the side of the road

Now I don't deny I was guilty

E

And I know I broke the law

F#

I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope

E7 B

And my back was up against the wall

Chorus:

B

Now I'm right outside your window

E

Honey, open up and let me in

F#

I broke out of jail this mornin'

E B

And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute

E

And I can't stay long at all

F#

'Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun

E7 B

And my back is up against the wall

(Back to first Part of Intro then solo)

Verse

B

I was shackled to a three-time loser

E

A man named Jefferson

F#

One night we got to talkin'

E7 B

And I asked him what he'd done

He said a man fell over my razor

In the middle of a bar room brawl

F#

But don't you see, it was him or me

E7 B

And my back was up against the wall

Chorus (2 x's)

Ending

F#

Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall

B F#

Yeah, I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun

E7 B

And my back is up against the wall
