Am(na, EnaAm, naE...F)E  
i was borAmn from an angel, she raiFsed me propEerly
i knew Amwhat i wasn't to do, i knew what Fi wasn't to sEee
but when you Amreach a certain age, your destFiny it comes to lEife
so don't yoAmu bite the hand that feeds you, or it may cFut you with its kEnife
it permeaAmtes all through my bones
i let it lFive, i help it Egrow
i said my cup Amit runeth over, well IF'm gonna let it flEow
so I shot Ama man in muncie, jFust to watch him dEie
my mother Amasked me if it pleased me
and i cFouldn't tell a lEie
now jeDmsus dAmied for tEhem, it's tAmrue
but wDmhat's a Amdevil to dEoooooooo?
when the Amsaints go marching Fin
i won't be Cthere, 'cause i love my Esin
am i so Ambad that you hate Fme
there was a Ctime when i could sEee
my hopes and Amdreams, they are nFo more
i'm not a riCch man, but blessed are the Epoor
old man, forAmgive me, i turned Faway
i won't come Cback, so i have to Epay
Am(na, EnaAm, naE...F)E  
and there is rAmules to life, I know,
and if you foFllow them you'll Ego
up to the mAmountains and the clouds
and where the Fgolden rivers fElow
but i've aAmlways been so good at brFeaking all the ruEles
i wasn't mAmade to be their robot
and i aFin't nobody's foEol
i am the gAmoat that got away
but i knFow there will come a dEay
when i'll be Ampunished for my mind
'cause i lFed myself aEstray
i am a wAmork of art, i know
i was cFreated but down bEelow
and if it's eAmvil that you're planting
then it's Fevil that will grEow
now jeDmsus dAmied for tEhem, it's tAmrue
but wDmhat's a Amdevil to dEoooooooo?
when the Amsaints go marching Fin
i won't be Cthere, 'cause i love my Esin
am i so Ambad that you hate Fme
there was a Ctime when i could sEee
my hopes and Amdreams, they are nFo more
i'm not a riCch man, but blessed are the Epoor
old man, forAmgive me, i turned Faway
i won't come Cback, so i have to Epay
Am(na, EnaAm, naE...F)E

Am E Am E F E

(na, na, na...)

Am F E

i was born from an angel, she raised me properly

Am F E

i knew what i wasn't to do, i knew what i wasn't to see

Am F E

but when you reach a certain age, your destiny it comes to life

Am F E

so don't you bite the hand that feeds you, or it may cut you with its knife

it permeates all through my bones

F E

i let it live, i help it grow

Am F E

i said my cup it runeth over, well I'm gonna let it flow

Am F E

so I shot a man in muncie, just to watch him die

my mother asked me if it pleased me

F E

and i couldn't tell a lie

Dm Am E Am

now jesus died for them, it's true

Dm Am E

but what's a devil to doooooooo?

Am F

when the saints go marching in

C E

i won't be there, 'cause i love my sin

Am F

am i so bad that you hate me

C E

there was a time when i could see

Am F

my hopes and dreams, they are no more

C E

i'm not a rich man, but blessed are the poor

Am F

old man, forgive me, i turned away

C E

i won't come back, so i have to pay

Am E Am E F E

(na, na, na...)

and there is rules to life, I know,

F E

and if you follow them you'll go

up to the mountains and the clouds

F E

and where the golden rivers flow

Am F E

but i've always been so good at breaking all the rules

i wasn't made to be their robot

F E

and i ain't nobody's fool

i am the goat that got away

F E

but i know there will come a day

when i'll be punished for my mind

F E

'cause i led myself astray

i am a work of art, i know

F E

i was created but down below

and if it's evil that you're planting

F E

then it's evil that will grow

Dm Am E Am

now jesus died for them, it's true

Dm Am E

but what's a devil to doooooooo?

Am F

when the saints go marching in

C E

i won't be there, 'cause i love my sin

Am F

am i so bad that you hate me

C E

there was a time when i could see

Am F

my hopes and dreams, they are no more

C E

i'm not a rich man, but blessed are the poor

Am F

old man, forgive me, i turned away

C E

i won't come back, so i have to pay

Am E Am E F E
