[Verse 1]
Am
I tried to be an honest man
Dm
Always doing things the best I can
Fmaj7 E7 Am
I smile and I wave to the people on the street
Am
Travel 'round this promised land
Dm
Singing songs for the average man
Fmaj7 E7 Am
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]
Dm Am
Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
Dm
I turned around for a minute
E7
And you stabbed me right in the back
[Verse 2]
Am
I tried to be an honest man
Dm
Always doing things the best I can
Fmaj7 E7 Am
But your evil ways have cast a spell over me
Am
No idea who you are
Dm
Don't know how you got this far
Fmaj7 E7 Am
But you got me blinded and now I can't see
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
Change in thе wind pushed me right off the track
Dm
I turnеd around for a minute
E7
And you stabbed me right in the back
[Chorus]
Am C
You've taken all my money and taken up my time
Fmaj7 E7
Lord, I've tried running but I'm caught in your fire
Am C
Your heart must be cold 'cause I'm sensing danger
Fmaj7 E7 Am
Hit by your words, now I'm caught in a noose by a stranger
[Interlude]

Am
I tried to be an honest man
Dm
Know you're doing the best you can
Fmaj7 E7 Am
To push me and pull me and turn me back around
Am
Traveled 'round this promised land
Dm
You broke me with the back of your hand
Fmaj7 E7 Am
And your evil spell's tryna bring me back down
Am
Back down
