CAPO II
Intro: A7
A7
The damn man kicking down my door
don't he know I won't see him no more?
D7
that dusty brim hanging over his eyes
A7
lord, I ain't never seen a man of his size
E7 D7
the heavy hand and the cast iron faith
A7
he never gives but he always takes
A7
I see the red red dust on his soul
his tired boots are as black as coal
D7
You might see him in a subway car
A7
or in the darkest corner down in the bar
E7 D7
The steely gaze and the serpent smile
A7
he'll work you over pretty good for a while
Solo: A7 D7 A7 E7 D7 A7
A7
So I'll tell you just what I did
I packed my bags and away I went
D7
Crossed frozen mountains and a deep blue sea
A7
I built a wall between him and me
E7 D7
Tell you something if you're hooked by the man
A7 'STOP'
just get out while you still can.
