Verse 1:
 

Am            Em                F7M          C 
Every night's another bar and a bottle in my hand 
Am                        Em               F7M            C 
These cheap cigars, they burn my lungs but I don't give a damn 
Am                    Em          F7M               C 
And all the sins I've made time I oughta be dead by now 
Am         Em                  F7M            C 
I'm going down this road, just keep on headed south 



Am                Em         F7M      C 
'Cause I'm coming down off a run away high 
Am             Em             F7M            C 
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind 
Am           Em               F7M         C 
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye 
Am                 Em           F7M              C 
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by 

Verse 2:

Am                Em            F7M        C 
I heard she met a good old man down in the sticks 
Am             Em                F7M                C 
He was lookin' sharp as a knife, hell he's probably 36 
Am                  Em        F7M                   C 
Well, he crossed my path so I pulled out my old six-shot 
Am           Em            F7M               C 
Then I put a piece of lead right through his heart 

 

Am                Em         F7M      C 
'Cause I'm coming down off a run away high 
Am             Em             F7M            C 
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind 
Am            Em              F7M         C 
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye 
Am                 Em           F7M              C 
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by 

Am         Em         F7M      C 
I'm coming down off a run away high 
Am             Em             F7M            C 
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind 
Am            Em              F7M         C 
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye 
Am                 Em           F7M              C 
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by
