[Intro]
NONE


[Verse]
      C
As I walk side by side
             F              C
Oh with the wicked and the righteous
   F               C             G
I wonder to which one of them I truly belong

        C
I have tread the narrow path
            F                    C
And I have stumbled through the darkness
         F                  C
And the right I’ve done by many
            G                    C    F   C   F   C   F   C   F
Is all for those that I’ve done wrong


[Chorus]
          F              C
Paint my casket true-ue bla-ack

And for all I might have cost you
   G
I hope to earn it back.

      C                  F
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah
     Am                  G
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah

          C
And with all I might have cost you
   G               C
I hope to make it right


[Verse]
        C
I have listened many a year
        F               C
To the greatest I have known
                 C
Truth truer than any voices
     G
That I have ever heard

          C
So child give me your ears
        F                   C
And between them I'm gonna sew
   F              C
A crop of plenty that will fruit
      G            C   F   C   F   C   F   C   F
With every stolen word


[Chorus]
          F              C
Paint my casket true-ue bla-ack

And for all I might have taught you
   G
I know you taught you back

      C                  F
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah
     Am                  G
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah

          C
And with all I might have cost you
   G               C
I hope to make it right


[Instrumental]
C   C   F   C   F   C   G   G
C   C   F   C   F   C   G

C  F   C  F   C  F   C  F


[Chorus]
          F              C
Paint my casket true-ue bla-ack

If you catch me too far from home
   G
I hope you'll bring me back

      C                  F
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah
     Am                  G
Shoo-rah, shoo-rah shoo-rah

          C
And with all I might have cost you
   G               C
I hope to make it right


[Verse]
        C
I have been deep into the cave
        F                  C
I have pullled out many a stone
 F                 C
Common as John or shining bright
         G
Mine to carry and mine to hold

        C
I have pulled out the ragged people
         F                  C
And got too used to being alone
 F                   C
Shoulder to shoulder up to the light
        G
That's where I found my gold


[Outro]
      C
As I walk side by side
          F              C
With the wicked and the righteous
   F               C             G
I wonder to which one of them I truly belong

        C
I have tread the narrow path
        F                    C
I have stumbled through the darkness
         F                  C
And the right I’ve done by many
            G                    C    F   C   F   C   F   C   F
Is all for those that I’ve done wrong
