G

[Verse 1]
G
Now I'm living in the country
                          Em
I was working up until I fell
   C                  G        D       G
I only went down, my ship had already sailed
G                                                            Em
I met a girl out in Memphis, it was going well I thought at first
   C                                          G           F
I only went down, she left when she knew I'd fail

[Chorus]
       C              G   
And if I could understand
F             C  Em              G
Might finally get some rest at least
F        C              G
Would I fight to make a stand
C
I'd never look back
       G
Never have to look out for the man

[Verse 2]
G
When I was movin' out the country
                                  Em
Thought my luck came by and I was saved
C                      G        C         G
I couldn't get out, I found not check in the mail
G
So I went up to Nashville
                                 Em
It was going well but then went still
   C                                         G
I couldn't get by, lucky to live to tell the tale

[Chorus]
       C              G  
And if I could understand
F             C  Em              G
Might finally get some rest at least
F        C              G
Would I fight to make a stand
C
I'd never look back
       G
Never have to look out for the man

       C              G  
And if I could understand
F             C  Em              G
Might finally get some rest at least
F        C              G
Would I fight to take a stand
C
I'd never look back
       G
Never have to look out for the man

C
Said never look back
      G
Never have to look out for the man
