Key: E

Introduction:  E  

                     E                         A                                 E                                         B7 
                    Tomorrow I go up for life but I should go straight to hell
                     B7                                                                 A                                 E 
                    Hell's got no more room for me and it's got no more time
                     A                             B7                       E 
                    I should be confessin' all my crimes
                     E                                 A                           E                       A 
                    Four years ago my debt was piled high upon my mind
                     E                             A                         E                               B7 
                    And I devised a plan to rob a bank just to survive
                     B7 
                    Oh, but when the gunsmoke cleared
                             A                             E 
                    I saw two bodies on the ground
                     A                           B7                     E 
                    Thirteen hours later I was found
                                  B                                             A                         E 
                      Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I've been
                                                 B 
                    'Cause in the waking of tomorrow
                               A                             E 
                      They will find me full of sin
                                   A               E                             B                     E 
                      I got news for you, I ain't as bad as they say
                                   A               E 
                      I got news for you it looks like,
                       B                             A                 E 
                      That just don't matter today
              E   A   E   B7   E 
Verse 2:     E                                                 A                       E                 A
                      Well the verdict came and right away, "Guilty Indeed"
                       E             A                           B7 
                      A 99 to life is what I heard that jury
                      Well, they thought they might impress upon me
                       A                                 E 
                      Crime it does not pay
                       A                             B7                 E 
                      I ain't one for listenin' today
                       E                                           A                 E                                 A 
                      As the years go by and by upon a shadowed ground I walk
                       E                                   A                       E                                   B7 
                      The people and the places of my past have now been lost
                                                                                           A                               E 
                      The man that I've been is not the man I'd hoped to be
                               A                               B7                             E 
                      Now it's too late to find the good in me
Chorus:       (2X)
              E                           B                         A             E 
                      Ah, looks like it just don't matter today
Outro:         E   A   E
