Man Down

Am
I didn't mean to end his life
                                 Am
I know it wasn't right
          Em
I cant even sleep at night
Cant get it off my mind
 Em

           Am
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars
  Em



                     Am
What started out as a simple 
altercation
             Em
Turned into a real sticky situation
             Am
Me just thinking on the time that im
 facing
Am                       Em
Makes me wanna cry


[Pre-Chorus]

             Am                    
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
      G

             Em                    
Coulda been somebodies son
   Am

Am                 G
And I took his heart when
Em                    Am
I pulled out that gun

Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum 
    Am                         Em

Oh mama mama mama
        G
I just shot a man down
                Am
In central station
                   Em
In front of a big ol crowd

     Am         Em
Oh Why Oh Why
     Am                 Am
Oh mama mama mama
        G

In central station

Am
It's a 22
  Am
I call her Peggy Sue
                       Em
When she fits, right down in my 
shoes
         Em
What you expect me to
                    Am
Do if you are play-ing me for a fool
                     Am
I will lose my cool
                      G
And reach for my firearm


                         Am
I didn't mean to lay him down
                            Em
But it’s too late to turn back now
         Am
Don’t know what I was thinking
        Am
Now he’s no longer living
     Em
So I’m about to leave town


[Pre-Chorus]

Am                          G
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
             Em                    
Coulda been somebodies son
   Am

Am                 G
And I took his heart when
Em                    Am
I pulled out that gun
