[Verse 1]
Em
I tried to be an honest man
Am
Always doing things the best I can
Cmaj7 B7 Em
I smile and I wave to the people on the street
Em
Travel 'round this promised land
Am
Singing songs for the average man
Cmaj7 B7 Em
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]
Am Em
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
Am
I turned around for a minute
B7
And you stabbed me right in the back
[Verse 2]
Em
I tried to be an honest man
Am
Always doing things the best I can
Cmaj7 B7 Em
But your evil ways have cast a spell over me
Em
No idea who you are
Am
Don't know how you got this far
Cmaj7 B7 Em
But you got me blinded and now I can't see
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
Change in thе wind pushed me right off the track
Am
I turnеd around for a minute
B7
And you stabbed me right in the back
[Chorus]
Em G
You've taken all my money and taken up my time
Cmaj7 B7
Lord, I've tried running but I'm caught in your fire
Em G
Your heart must be cold 'cause I'm sensing danger
Cmaj7 B7 Em
Hit by your words, now I'm caught in a noose by a stranger
[Interlude]

I tried to be an honest man
Am
Know you're doing the best you can
Cmaj7 B7 Em
To push me and pull me and turn me back around

Traveled 'round this promised land

You broke me with the back of your hand
Cmaj7 B7 Em
And your evil spell's tryna bring me back down
Em
Back down
