Gb                       Db
   Stuck on square one again
             F                     Bbm
I ain't the man that you thought I was
Gb                                 Db
   Well, I've been living in my sin
         F                        Bbm
I understand the consequence thereof

Gb                           Db
   Stuck on high hopes again
       F7                                 Bbm
But in one night all the feeling's gone away
Gb                                 Db
   I've been a fraud to my own kin
      F                                    Bbm
If I told them all I've done, they'd be ashamed

Gb  Db
And ohh
       F                        Bbm
I'm an Appalachian sinner to my core
Gb       Db
And ohh, no
         F7                          Bbm
No, the ransom for my soul I can't afford

( Gb  Db  F7  Bbm )

Gb                            Db
   Stuck on momma's basement floor
      F7                                Bbm
I'm a living, but ain't working for my chow
Gb                             Db
   I've been a hanging with a whore
        F7                       Bbm
Oh, if momma knew she'd throw me out

Gb                            Db
   Stuck on pleasure and the high
    F7                                 Bbm
The high that leaves me wishin' I was dead
Gb                                Db
   I think I'm done putting up a fight
       F7                             Bbm
Maybe life ain't worth a living in my head

Gb       Db
And ohh, no
        F7                      Bbm
I'm an Appalachian sinner to my core
Gb          Db
And ohh, no
         F7                          Bbm
No, the ransom for my soul I can't afford

Gb            Db
Ooh, ooh, ah, oh, no
  F         Bbm
Ah, ah, no, oh, no
Gb           Db  F
Oh, whoa, no
Bbm
Hum

Gb                                  Db
   Stuck on something that gave me hope
 F                                 Bbm
That I could have something livin' for
Gb                                       Db
   He said: There ain't no freedom in a rope, no
               F7                           Bbm
Hanging there you lived a life so wretched poor

             Gb                                 Db
He said: Son,   once there's a man who was hung
            F7                                Bbm
'Cause he knew you'd need a saving from your sin
Gb                          Db
   You're an outlaw with a gun
            F7    F                     Bbm
But he's a God who wants to call you friend

Gb                                     Db
   Ooh, then and there I fell upon my knees
             F                                 Bbm
And I said: Jesus, take this wretched heart of mine!
   Gb                           Db
No,   I ain't no good, but I believe
                 F7                             Bbm
That You're the righteous One who gave His only life

    Gb  Db
And ohh
       F7      F                 Bbm
I'm an Appalachian sinner to my core
    Gb      Db
And ohh, no
         F                            Bbm
No, the Ransom for my soul I can't afford

    Gb        Db
And ohh woah, no
       F                                    Bbm
I was lost, but now am found, oh praise the Lord!
    Gb  Db
And ohh
       F                          Bbm
I'm an Appalachian sinner, but reborn
