[Verse 1]
C
Everyone considered him
F C
The coward of the county
He'd never stood
One single time To prove
G
The county wrong
C
His mama named him Tommy,
F C
But folks just called him Yellow
Something always told me
G C
They were reading Tommy wrong
[Verse 2]
C
He was only ten years old
F C
When his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy
G
'Cause he was my brother's son
C
I still recall the final words
F C
My brother said to Tommy,
"Son, my life is over,
G C
But yours has just begun
[Chorus]
C F
"Promise me, son, not to do
C F
The things I've done walk away from
C G C
Trouble if you can it won't mean
F C
You're weak if you turn The other cheek
F
I hope you're Old enough
G
to understand:
Son,
C
you don't have to fight to be a man."
[Verse 3]
C#
There's someone for everyone,
F# C#
And Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have
G#
To prove he was a man
C#
One day while he was working
F# C#
The Gatlin boys came calling
They took turns at Becky
G# C#
There was three of them
[Verse 4]
C#
Tommy opened up the door
F# C#
And saw his Becky crying
The torn dress, the shattered look
G#
Was more than he could stand
C#
He reached above the fireplace
F# C#
And took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face
G# C#
He heard these words again,
[Chorus]
C# F#
"Promise me, son, not to do
C# F#
The things I've done walk away from
C# G# C#
Trouble if you can it won't mean
F# C#
You're weak if you turn The other cheek
F#
I hope you're Old enough
G#
to understand:
Son,
C#
you don't have to fight to be a man."
[Verse 5]
D
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him
G D
When he walked into the bar room
One of them got up and met him half
A D
Way 'cross the floor when Tommy turned
G
Around they said, "Hey, look, old
D
Yellow's leaving. "But you could've
A
Heard a pin drop When Tommy stopped
D
And locked the door
[Verse 6]
D
Twenty years of crawling
G D
Was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holding nothing back,
A D
He let 'em have it all when Tommy
G
Left the bar room not a Gatlin boy
D
Was standing he said, "This one's
A
For Becky," as he watched
D
The last one fall n' I heard him say
[Chorus]
D
"I promised you, Dad,
G
not to do the things
D G
You've done I walk away from
D A D
Trouble when I can now please don't
G D
Think I'm weak I didn't turn The other cheek
G
and, Papa, I sure hope
A
You understand: sometimes you gotta
D
Fight when you're a man."
[Outro]
