Intro: G Em F C G Em F G Em F G F C G
G Em F
I am my mother’s only son
G Em F G F C G
And you might think that I’d regret the things I’ve done
Em F
But I can only think of one right now
G Em F C F G F C G
You and I both know the reason why you’ve turned your gun on me
Em F
I’m rarely held in high regard
G Em F G F C G
And most folks don’t seem to trust me very far
Em F
But I can promise you one thing
G Em F C F G F C G Em
I would’ve turned my back and walked away if she had worn a ring
C F G
Please don’t put your bullets in me
C F G
Please don’t bury me ‘neath the cold, cold ground
C F Bb F
You and I alone will know the truth of what went on
G C F
You will never see my face again in town
Jam on verse chords
Most nights I go to bed alone
And there’s no place on this earth that I’d call home
And I’ll admit I have a roving eye
But I’m not the only man to turn to look when she walked by
I don’t expect to buy much time
But I need to find a way to change your mind
And to convince you that I could not know
She wore a ring upon her hand to mark the vows that she had spoken
So I’m beggin you….Please don’t put your bullets in me
Please don’t bury me ‘neath the cold, cold ground
You and I alone will know the truth of what went on
You will never see my face again in town
Jam on verse
I swear the whole world must be blind
If I’m the first man to see murder in your eyes
How fitting now the wind is turning cold
And with my dying breath I curse your life I curse your very soul
Please don’t put your bullets in me
Please don’t bury me ‘neath the cold, cold ground
You and I alone will know the truth of what went on
You will never see my face again in town
They jam with F C G
I am my mother’s only son
And you might think that I’d regret the things that I’ve done
There’s just one thing I wish I could change
And that’s the day I met the sheriff’s wife
The day they robbed me of my life
And left me in this lonely mountain range
Chorus
