Intro 1

Verse 1
Bm 
 (B minor) I didn't wanna shoot that man
D 
but he  (D major) heard that I was fast
A 
You know that liquor  (A major) gave him the courage
Em 
 (E minor) to put a man to the ground
Bm 
D 
 (B minor) But nobody saw, I couldn't claim  (D major) 
no self-defense
A 
So  (A major) I  took off with the morning sun,
Em 
 (E minor) running from my sins
Bm 
 (B minor) I ended up in every town
D 
where  (D major) all the bad men go
A 
They've been running  (A major) just like me,
Em 
 (E minor) someone always knows
He'll say,
Bm 
 (B minor) "Ain't you the man who shot that boy?"
D 
and  (D major) want his turn to dance
A 
So here I die  (A major) in some street that night,
Em 
no  (E minor) never had a chance

Chorus 1

Never meant to be a bad man,

I just had a fast hand

Ain't going to be nothing in Hell

I haven't lived through here

I'm just going to walk out

and wish you all goodnight

I never meant to be a bad man,

I just had a fast hand

Verse 2
Bm

Because there is a  (A major) piece of my soul
In every man I've killed
Em 
in every  (E minor) godforsaken place
