kinds of hammer-ons etc. that are going on here and throughout the song.

Intro: Am-F-G x 4


Verse 1:
Am          F     G   
I ain't no super boy
Am                F    G
I ain't no yankee son
Am                       F        G
I ain't what you've been lookin' for
Am                   F    G
I ain't your chosen one
Am                  F         G   
I got no one to throw this at
Am             F     G   
For to blame myself
Am                        F     G   
For comin' home with my flask in hand
Am          F     G   
A mouth full of fiery hell
     E                         Am  
This is my confessionary hymn


Verse 2:

I cannot save you my wretched soul
You got this thing all wrong
Lying here on my jail cell bed
Has got me etching down this song
How could a man such as I kill a man like him
Without a second thought of mind
I love my wife well, too damn much
to see her with a man of his kind
This is my confessionary hymn


Am       F      C         G     
la da da da da, la da da da da
Am       F    C         G  
la da da da, da la da da da 
Am       F      C         G     
la da da da da, la da da da da
Am       F    C         E          Am
la da da da, da     da da da da  


Am-F-G x 2


Verse 3:

Well I ain't no super boy
I ain't no yankee son
I ain't what you've been looking for
I ain't your chosen one
Well my day is close, it's my fault I suppose
I got that man's blood on my hands
So light your fires, my dear, prison course
This is the day my pain will end
This is my confessionary hymn
  
la da da da da, la da da da da
la da da da, da la da da da     
la da da da da, la da da da da
la da da da, da     da da da da 

Am-F-C-G-C-C/B x 2

Am              F         C                     G       C-C/B
Don't you cry, my angel, had to be, the sinner's blood
Am              F         C                  G       C-C/B
Please go on and forget my fate, forget my love
Am              F         C                 G       C-C/B
Just lay me down in my mother's, for this sin
Am                   F            C        E
When you pass there upon my grave, don't forget my confessionary hymn

la da da da da, la da da da da
la da da da, da la da da da     
la da da da da, la da da da da
la da da da, da     da da da da 

End on Am.
