Branded Man - Merle Haggard - 50 bpm

	I'd [G]like to []hold my []head up []and be [C]proud of []who I [G]am[]
	But [G]they won't []let my []secret []go un[D]told[][][]
	I [G]paid the []debt I []owed them, []but they're [C]still not []satis[G]fied[]
	Now [G]I'm a []branded [D]man []out in the [G]cold[][][]

When they [G]let me []out of []prison, []I [C]held my []head up [G]high[]
De[G]termined []I would []rise a[]bove the [D]shame[][][]
But no [G]matter []where I'm []living, []the [C]black mark []follows [G]me[]
I'm [G]branded []with a [D]number []on my [G]name[][][::1::]

If I [G]live to []be a []hundred, []I guess I'll [C]never []clear my [G]name[]
'Cause [G]every[]body []knows I've []been in [D]jail[][][]
No [G]matter []where I'm []living, I've []got to [C]tell them []where I've [G]been[]
Or they'll [G]send me []back to [D]prison []if I [G]fail[][][::1::]
