Am                    G
  Getting born in the state of Mississippi

Papa was a copper,

Am             G
  In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Dm                            Am
Price you got to pay when you break the panorama

Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana

Robbing on a bank in the state of Indiana
Am

On her merry way saying baby,

Am                 G           Dm          Am
  Looking down the barrel of a hot metal forty-five

  Just another way to survive

  Who knew the other side  of you?
Bm              G        D/F#   F#5
  Who knew that others died  to prove?
Bm            G         D/F#   F#5
