I Could Have Gone Right

(intro) G D A7 D

       D              D7        
    Oh, I was born a good boy, my 
   G            D
mama loved me so,
         G              D      
    she gave me every chance she 
             E              A
could, to make my life a go.
           D                 D7
    But I fell in with the wrong 
                  G                
crowd and the wrong crowd led me 
 D
on,
        G                  D   
    but I could have gone right, 
           D      A       D
just as easy as I went wrong.

       A                        G 
    I went to the places, where 
                  D
sin just waits for you,
           A                    
    and I fell in with the wrong 
             G              A A7
crowd, like sinners always do

         D             D7         
    Now here I sit in prison, just
  G               D
 waiting for the day
      G                     D  
    when they'll lead me through 
                 E             A
that door and burn my life away.
         D             D7         
    Oh, mama please forgive me, 
    G             D
the shame is all my own,
        G                  D   
    for I could have gone right, 
           D      A       D
just as easy as I went wrong.

    for I could have gone right, 
           D      A       D
