I Gotta Go

Am                C                 G              Em
Ain't got time to shoot the breeze, Got no time to blow,
Am               C              Em      Am
Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go
Am                      C                   G                Em
Born one mornin’ on the day of the dead in a bombed out bungalow
   Am              C                 Em         Am
My momma kissed my cheek and said...    I gotta go

Chorus:
F       C            G        Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am          F              Em         Am
Wastin' time standing here,   I gotta go


Am                C          G          Em
They put me in an orphanage, West of Tupelo
Am               C                  Em        Am
I told em when I burnt that bridge,   I gotta go
Am           C          G               Em
Stole a car, got a gun, Robbed the Hidey-Ho
Am            C            Em        Am
I left Memphis on the run... I gotta go

Chorus:
F       C            G        Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am          F             Em          Am
Wastin' time standing here,   I gotta go


Am              C            G                Em
Five card stud, deuces wild, Three kings in a row
  Am                  C                Em      Am
I turned that diamond deuce and smiled, I gotta go
Am                       C            G                  Em
They tracked my down and took my take, brother don't you know
  Am                     C             Em          Am
I told them boys there's some mistake,   I gotta go

Chorus:
F       C            G        Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am          F             Em          Am
Wastin' time standing here,   I gotta go


Am             C                    G                      Em
Cold Steel up against my head, they turned the lights down low
   Am              C           Em        Am
In case you didn't hear I said...I gotta go
Am                  C               G               Em
These are your very last words sir, say em nice and slow,
Am                    C
My last words on this planet were...

Chorus x2
F       C            G        Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am          F             Em          Am
Wastin' time standing here,   I gotta go
