Lonesome River Band

Am                G                                   Am
I was raised in a small mill town, a factory worker's son
Am               G                    D
Left my home and family at the age of 21

Am            G                                   Am
I set out to find my way in a strange and distant town
Am                   G                 D
Hadn't been there a year or more when trouble came around

Am            G                             Am
I operate an old punch press, work all by myself
Am                                 G               D             
I make no friends or enemies, just parts from 4 to 12; 
      Am        G    Am
just parts from 4 to 12

Am                                 G              Am
One night as I was walking home, I heard an awful sound
Am                                    G                 D
Footsteps running out of sight by the time I turned around
Am G Am Shaken by the dreadful scene, it came into my sight Am G D A young man lying cold and still, beneath the dim street light Am G Am Dear Mother, say a prayer for me, and please try not to cry Am G D I swear to you I killed no one, but I had no alibi; Am G Am Lord, I had no alibi Am G Am Now I'm a hunted fugitive, running for my life Am G D A wanted man ain't got a chance when he has no place to hide Am G Am I know someday they'll find me, and I know that when they do Am G D I'll have to pay the penalty for a crime I didn't do; Am G Am For a crime I didn't do
