Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]

[Verse]
Em               G             D      Em
I roam these hills carrying the fox I found
             G         D      Em
And when I'm tired I'll lay it down
        G        D       Em
And get myself a drink of water
 
Em                 G               D           Em
But I'll keep on through 'til I've reached your door
       G         D      Em
Lay the hide out on the floor
         G            D   Em
Give you Cap'n Jerry's 50 dollars

[Verse]
Em           G        D         Em
He said he's sorry he could not stay
              G           D        Em
But there were things that couldn't wait
         G            D         Em
He'll be back when he tends the business
                   G                      D      Em
But I feared you'd think the Cap'n was an unjust man
      G          D      Em
So I thought I'd lend a hand
          G        D       Em
And bring back the debt he owes you
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                   Em           Am      Am/G   E
And who knows along the way, I might find myself a reason
      C             Em
As to why I live this way
B7
Running up and down these dirty streets,
Am                            Am/G Em
throwin my money, so I don't sleep alone

[Verse]
Em             G              D       Em
Look straight ahead, Aaron is on his way
  G            D            Em
Ridin' through the same old thing
 G             D        Em
I guess it was perfect timin'
                  G              D           Em
Cause my heart is strong, but my bones they ache
          G      D       Em
But they always do these days
      G            D       Em
From livin' like a drunken heathen
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                   Em           Am       Am/G  Em
And who knows along the way, I might find myself a reason
      C             Em
As to why I live this way
B7
Running up and down these dirty streets,
Am                            Am/G Em
throwin my money, so I don't sleep alone
