[Intro]
Am B* C F C G B* Am

Am      B*      C               F                     C
Spent a week in Jackson and the devil got the best of me
        G                           C* B* Am
Now I'm runnin' from the law out of Tennessee

[Verse 1]
Am   B*       C        F              C
We used to be rounders in our younger days
   G                     C* B*  Am
He became the law and we parted ways
Am      B*     C       F                 C
We were bound together through blood and time
   G                    C*       B*  Am
We swore an oath at the scene of the crime
Am     B*         C      F              C
As the years went by his love turned to spite
    G                    C*   B* Am
But I no longer have the will to fight

[Chorus]
    F                C
The things you do to survive
        F               C
Make it miserable to be alive
      F                 C
Don't take your guns to town
          F                  C
You can't stop it from going down
        F                  C
Fathers hold your children tight
        G        C*   B*  Am
There's gonna be violence tonight

[Verse 2]
Am    B*         C     F                   C
Gotta cross this river before the 100 year flood
G                         C*    B* Am
Law don't want justice he wants my blood
Am     B*  C    F                 C
Headed out west up through the badlands
G                            C*          B* Am
Down to the river to wash the blood from my hands
Am  B*     C    F             C
I light no fire so I can't be found
  G                 C*   B* Am
I travel by night I make no sound
Am          B*     C    F          C
When you're on the road and on the run
           G                          C*   B*     Am
You've got plenty of time to think on what you've done

[Chorus]
    F                C
The things you do to survive
        F               C
Make it miserable to be alive
      F                 C
Don't take your guns to town
          F                  C
You can't stop it from going down
        F                  C
Fathers hold your children tight
        G        C*   B*  Am
There's gonna be violence tonight

[Verse 3]
Am        B*    C        F                C
My father was a preacher of fire and brimstone
        G                              C*   B* Am
But the bottle saw him spend his final days alone
Am            B*    C   F           C
Like him I'll never see God's mercy seat
         G                      C*  B*  Am
But I've learned to stand on my own two feet
Am        B*    C        F                C
Wanted in seven counties on account of my crimes
         G                     C*    B*  Am
Won't be spared tribulation in these end times

[Chorus]
    F                C
The things you do to survive
        F               C
Make it miserable to be alive
      F                 C
Don't take your guns to town
          F                  C
You can't stop it from going down
        F                  C
Fathers hold your children tight
        G        C*   B*  Am
There's gonna be violence tonight

[Verse 4]
Am   B*         C        F                  C
I'll never live down the sins of my younger days
     G                  C*      B*   Am
I'll always pay for the choices I've made
Am      B*      C         F          C
The law finally caught me outside of Cheyenne
  G                  C*     B* Am
I have no weapon, no gun in my hand
Am          B*   C        F            C
Law says it goes two ways far as I can tell
        G                                 C*  B*     Am
You can spend your life in prison or I'll see you in hell

[Outro]
Am      B*      C               F                     C
Spent a week in Jackson and the devil got the best of me
