[Verse]
       Em
I'm an honest man
       Am
I know where I stand
Dsus2               Em
Money's been my downfall
    Em
I'd gamble away
         Asus2
A week's worth of pay
     B7                  Em
If I had a lousy dime at all

[Verse]
          Em
But there ain't a bet
        Am
I ain't settled yet
       Dsus2        Em
Had to beg, borrow, steal
            Em
I'd never shied away
             Asus2
If there's a price to pay
B7                   Em
Never been forced to kill

[Chorus]
Em              Asus2
Forgive me, forgive me
Dsus2              Em
Lord for what I've done
Asus2              Em
Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi
      B7                      Em
Gonna leave another fatherless son

[Chorus]
Em              Asus2
Forgive me, forgive me
Dsus2              Em
Lord for what I've done
Asus2              Em
Shot a man down in Oxford, Mississippi
      B7                      Em
Gonna leave another fatherless son

[Verse]
Em
Down in the den
      Am
I was ownin' ten
Dsus2           Em
Tryin' to make 21
Em
Called it twice
            Asus2
And right before my eyes
      B7                   Em
Every penny that I had was gone

[Verse]
        Em
The man came around
           Am
He put his money down
   Dsus2            Em
So boys spends with me
Em
Pats my back
       Asus2
Says I like you jack
          B7                       Em
But ain't nothin' in the world for free

[Chorus]
Em              Asus2
Forgive me, forgive me
Dsus2              Em
Lord for what I've done
Asus2              Em

[Verse]
             Em
So there's a man in town
        Am
When ya cut him down
Dsus2               Em
You won't owe me no more
      Em
So I took the gun
         Asus2
When the deed was done
B7                  Em
Dropped down to the floor

[Chorus]
Em              Asus2
Forgive me, forgive me
Dsus2              Em
Lord for what I've done
