Verse 1
CmWell I Take No Earthly Pleasure From Throwing Stones
FmOr Building Up My Palace Out Of Crumbling Bones
CmAnd I Can't Be Certain 'Bout The Places That I've Been
G7But I Have Scraped And Clawed My Way Out Of Them Shadows Again

CmThat's Why I'm Hitching Up My Wagon To A Sinking Ship
FmAnd Riding It Down Till I Lost My Grip
CmAnd Then The World Says You Only Got Yourself To Blame
G7Running Ragged Through The Mud Upon Your Family Name

Chorus
CmI'll Be A Dead Man Striding Down To The Grave
FmOn That Troubled Little Road To Hell That I've Paved

No, No No...
