I'm going down this road feeling bad: 
F                        C    C7 
Bad luck's all I've ever had; 
F                            C          Am 
Going down this road feeling bad, Lord, Lord,

Got me way down in jail on my knees: 
F                                  C      C7 
This old jailer he sure is hard to please

And these two-dollar shoes hurt my feet   
F                                  C   C7
