Man Down

Bm A G A D
Bm
I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right

         A
I can't even sleep at night
Can't get it off my mind

        G
I need to get out of sight

                        A
Before I end up behind bars

               Bm
What started out as a simple altercation

          A
Turned into a real sticky situation

            G
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing

              A
Makes me wanna cry

  Bm                    A
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him

                        Bm
Coulda been somebody's son

                 A
And I took his heart when

                   Bm
I pulled out that gun

                                 A

I Call her Peggy Sue

                A
When she fits right down in my shoes
What do you expect me to do

              G
If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool

              A
And reach for my fire arm

                   Bm
I didn't mean to lay him down

                     A
But its too late to turn back now

        G
Don't know what I was thinking
