Angola

           G                       
Well I was born in Bossier Parish, 
    D
in Northern Louisian?
       C                           
Just a few miles south of Fillmore 
          G
where my daddy owned some land
    G                         
And we were thick as a pair of 
             D
thieves, my buddy Jack and me
C                                 
Drinkin? beer and playin? 
   G
football, fishin? on them creeks

[Chorus]
       C                        
Oh but now my life it seems like 
           G
some old country song you know
        D                          
Lord I just turned 21, and there?s 
                  G
no chance of parole
        C                        
And I?m doin? life for murder, in 
       G
this penitentiary
       D                           
Just a young man in Angola, seen 
   C             G
the last of bein? free

[Verse 2]
   G                       D
We graduated high school, back in 
?98
C                                 
Tried to live the clean life, but 
     G
the clean life didn?t pay
       G                      
Then a friend of a friend of a 
                      D
friend of ours had a way to make 
ends meet
    C                            
And he gave us a crash course, in 
  G
southern chemistry

[Chorus]
       C                        
Oh but now my life it seems like 
           G
some old country song you know
        D                          
Lord I just turned 21, and there?s 
    C            G
no chance of parole
        C                        
And I?m doin? life for murder, in

[Verse 3]
    G                            
And then one day it happened, and 
     D
the wild men got the call
     C                         G
And Jackie he?d been talkin?, with 
the local law
     G                           
They stuck him nearly fifty times 
        D
and dumped him in the creek
         C                         
When the sheriff?s found the body, 
                   G
they pointed their bloody hands at 
me

             A                     
And I got a tattoo on my shoulder, 
           C
I got a number on my chest
     A                         
The tattoo just says ?Hot?, and 
              C                  D
that?s the place I love the best, 
yeah
