[Verse 1]
          G
Well, the poor man's soul is a diamond made of coal
     Em           D              G
He's trying every day just to survive
   G
He makes his way through the night and through the day
         Em               D           G
Sayin', "Don't it feel so good to be alive?"
        D                   C       G
Ah, but I don't want to end up like him
         Em                              D
For he's down on his knees every hour to pray
         G               D          C             G
Sayin', "Lord, I been so good, just like I knew I should
             Em            D         G
So won't you free me on my judgement day?"

[Verse 2]
          G
Well, she speaks good French sitting pretty on the bench
      Em              D         G
But I know she's only after his gold
    G
She looks so fine, it's naturally a crime
    Em                   D           G
She complains that she's getting too old
       D                         C         G
So she tells her mama that she's fallen in love
       Em                             D
With a rich man who can take her far away
        G        D              C          G
But the wheel of time, make her change her mind
    Em          D         G
The hour on her judgement day

[Verse 3]
           G
Well, that girl of mine, she ain't the gentle kind
Em            D              G
All she do is fuss, cuss and moan
  G
I tried so hard, but it ain't in the cards
   Em      D            G
So I'll be leaving her alone
    D                          C               G
And if I'm right, mama, you'll have to sing to me
           Em                              D
And if I'm wrong, well, I won't be in your way
     G      D           C            G
If I find myself at the mercy of the law
          Em            D         G
Won't you free me on my judgement day?
            Em            D         G
I said, you free me on my judgement day?
