[Verse 1]
G#m
I tried to be an honest man
C#m
Always doing things the best I can

I smile and I wave to the people on the street

Travel 'round this promised land
C#m
Singing songs for the average man
Emaj7 D#7 G#m
I don't hurt nobody, thought nobody'd hurt me
[Refrain]

Change in the wind pushed me right off the track
C#m
I turned around for a minute
D#7
And you stabbed me right in the back
