--VERSE 1:
[A]The old man was a good man, he [D]raised his [C]children [A]right
[A]He taught us how to work hard and [A]showed us [E]how to [A]fight
[A]Told me about the good Lord and [A]when to [C]use a [D]gun
[C]Made me very [G]proud of where it [C]is that I come from
--MAIN RIFF (x1)--
--CHORUS--
[B-C] When I [D]die put my bones in the [E]Dix[G#]ie [A]dirt
[D]Look down on me smiling I don't [E]want no [G#]feelings [A]hurt
[D]All I leave behind me is a [E]ragged [G#]old gui[F#]tar
C G A(stop)
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar
--MAIN RIFF--
--VERSE 2:
A(stop) (banjo)
Years they rolled on by, the old man turned me loose
Way cross town I learned about them sad ol' country blues
Taught me how to prep my heart from trying to make it [D]right
[C]Told me not to [G]ever break but [C]one law at a time
--MAIN RIFF (x1)--
--CHORUS:

--MAIN RIFF--
--BRIDGE:
Hope you'll [F#]wear me on your [D]memory like a painted old tattoo
I [B]might not make no history book but I'll [E]burn a page or two
Yeah
