Branded Man
Merle Haggard

G                                  C              G
I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
                                  D
But they won't let my secret go untold
  G                                     C              G
I paid the debt I owed them,but they're still not satisfied
                  D              G
Now I'm a branded man out un the cold

G                                C               G
When they let me out of prison,I held my head up high
                                  D
Determined I would rise above the shame
       G                           C                  G
But no matter where I'm living,the black mark follows me
                   D            G
I'm branded with a number on my name


Repeat verse 1


G                                      C              G
If I live to be a hundred,I guess I'll never clear my name
                                    D
'Cause everybody knows I've been in jail
   G                                   C               G
No matter where I'm living,I've got to tell them where I've been
                           D           G
Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail


Repeat verse 1

                  D              G
Now I'm a branded man out un the cold
