Capo 4th fret (how I figured it out anyway)
Intro x1
C    F   Am   F   G   C
CSometimes I wish I was Fdead and Cgone
Would not walk this world no Gmore
And Fall my troubles will Cpass awAmay
As I Cwalk through GHeaven’s Cdoor
CAs long as I can Fremember Cnow
Been out here all my Gown
Oh Fhow I was wish I was Cin your Amarms
To Crest my Gachy Cbones
Can’t Fput me in the Cwater
Can’t Fput me in my Ggrave
But no Cmatter what you Fwant from Amme
I Fain’t the Gone to Csave
It’s lonely in a border town
Where no one knows your name
I’ll spin this world right into the ground
‘Til only light remains
When doors are shut for you my dear
You simply bring them down
But I just sit there biding my time
Until the keys just came around
Chorus x1
Banjo Solo x1
Mandolin Solo x1
There’s holy ghosts and blinded eyes
They’re riding for my soul
I ain't the man that you thought you knew
I ain't that man no more
Remember when we owned it all
Those days went by so slow
But all those times are passed and gone
And I got nowhere to go
Chorus x2
No Cmatter what you Fwant from Amme
I Fain't the Gone to Csave
