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
