[Verse 1]
F# B
She was dressed in a fit of illusion
F# B
Indigo sun skirt, jet black hair
F# B
She was alive with the devil inside
F# B
Just burnin' and bruised with a cataract stare
F# B
She was on all about the time down in Mexico City
F# B
When the devil took her down to make make her look pretty
F#
I'd give you the world if you'd just give me your skin
B F#
And I'll, I'll take you places that you've never been
[Chorus]
B C#
She said, "I was born down, left to wander
B F#
I'm just trying to get free
B C#
You took my mother, you took my father
B F# B F#
Oh, but you're not gonna take me
F# B F# F# B F#
No, no, you're not"
F# B F#
[Verse 2]
F# B
Backpack tied, full of loose ends
F# B
She was sinkin' down, overflowin'
F# B
And tuggin' and tearin' just to keep it all in
F# B
But the seams come undone to the fate you stole
F# B
She said, "Get me a drink and make it a double
F# B
Gonna need some miracle to knock out this trouble
F# B
"You're not gonna win", she screamed to the sky
F#
And said, "I'll keep on runnin' 'til the day I die, yeah"
[Chorus]
B C#
I was born down, left to wander
B F#
I'm just trying to get free
B C#
You took my mother, you took my father
B F# B F# F# B F#
Oh, but you're not gonna take me, no, no, no
[Post-Chorus]
F#
No, you're not
F#
No, you're not gonna take
F#
No, you're not
F#
No, you're not gonna take
B
No, you're not
B
No, you're not gonna take

[Bridge]
F#
I've got hounds on my heels
D#m
Trying to crawl into my flesh and trying to tell me how to feel
F# B
I've got hounds on my heels
F#
Sleepless hounds just follow me like I'm their only meal
D#m
I've been primed for the kill
F#
Boots on my wheels
F# D#m B
Hounds on my heels
[Verse 3]
F# B
Constantly strayed, the renegade arose
F# B
But the devil-hot stones under fiery throws
F# B
He said, "There's nothin' I can do to hang up the demon, but
F#
I'll lock you up if you keep on screamin'"
[Chorus]
B C#
I was born down, left to wander
B F#
I'm just trying to get free
B C#
You took my mother, you took my father
B F# B F# F# B F#
Oh, but you're not gonna take me

B

N.C.
