Bm
I tried to be an honest man
Em
Always doing things the best I can
Gmaj7 F#7 Bm
I smile and I wave to the people on the street

Travel 'round this promised land
Em
Singing songs for the average man
Gmaj7 F#7 Bm
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]
Em Bm
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
Em
I turned around for a minute
F#7
And you stabbed me right in the back
