[Verse 1]
  
  Am
    Hey mama, when you leave
  Am
    Don't leave a thing behind
  F                Am 
      I don't want    nothing
  Em              Am
      I can't use nothing

[Verse 2]

  Am
      Take care into the hall
  Am
      And if you see my friends
  F               Am
      Tell em I'm   fine
  Em            Am 
      Not using nothing

[Verse 3]

  Am
      Almost burned out my eyes
  Am
      And threw my ears down to the floor
  F               Am 
     I didn't see    nothing
  Em               Am
     I didn't hear nothing

[Verse 4]

  Am
     I stood there like a block of stone
  Am
     Knowing all I had to know
  F              Am 
     And nothing    more
  Em             Am 
     Man, that's nothing

[Verse 5]

  Am
     Brothers our troubles are
  Am
     Locked in each others arms
  F                 Am
     And you better   pray 
  Em                 Am
     That they never find you

[Verse 6]
  
  Am
      Cause your back ain't strong enough
  Am
      Burdens doublefold
  F                    Am
      They'd crush you  down
  Em            Am     
      Down into nothing

[Verse 7]

  Am
      Being born is going blind
  Am
      And bowing down a thousand times
  F             Am
      To echoes   strung
  Em               Am
      On pure temptation
  
[Verse 8]
  Am
      Sorrow and solitude
  Am
      These are the precious things
  F                Am
      And the only   words
  Em                 Am
      That are worth remembering

[Outro]
   
   Am                           Am
