x MIm LAm MIm LAm
Used to be younger, out on the hard streets,
Gettin' high on crystal, drinkin' scotch and smokin' weed,
G D C x &(D-D/G-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4)&
Daddy's wish used to be nothin' less than my command,
%G D C &(D-D/G-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4)&%
Took to a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross with both hands,
xEm LAm MIm LAm x
Momma couldn't give me the thing a young boy needs,
Instead of momma sufferin' she was smart enough to leave,
%G & D & C &(D-D/G-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus4)&
Spent my life fightin' tryin' to stay free,
From trials and tribulation and the state penitantory,
MIm
(oh, i know)
legend:
x ==> pick and strum like intro
& ==> this is just strummed while playing around with D
% ==> strum
*note: after this, it's just a very simple rhythm, if you know the tune *
%Em Am Em Am
I suppose really lookin' cool, just makin' both ends meet,
Until that day i saw you walkin', down Blue Angel Street,
G D C &D&
The sweetest lies of lily white, comin' from you lips,
You brush away all my pain, with a lazy finger tip!
MIm LAm MIm LAm
It moves my heart just watchin', the way you walk so smooth,
you save me from an evil fate, you steal 'way my blues,
G D C & D &
Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof,
SOL RE DO RE (strum)
Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!
SOL RE DO RE
This man loves you, this man loves you,
G D C D %
This man loves you, this man loves you.
x MIm LAm MIm LAm
That's the naked truth. It's the naked truth.........
MIm LAm
MIm LAm MIm LAm x
Goin' down that graveyard spiral, there was nothin' I could do,
Life treated me much harder, ?than me'in' an ole corkscrew?
>(meeting)<
%G D C D
Lyin' here, in your arms, I don't need no more proof,
SOL RE DO RE (strum)
Lyin' here, safe and warm, it's just the naked truth!

This man loves you, this man loves you,
This man loves you, this man loves you...............
