I Could Have Gone Right
M. Tillis


CAPO II


INTRO: A  E  B  E

   E                         A             E
Oh I was born a good boy, my mama loved me so
        A             E                   F#              B
And she gave me every chance she could to make my life of gold
      E                                    A                  E
But I fell in with the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on
    A                 E                     B      E
But I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong


BRIDGE:
  B                        A                 E
I went to the places where sin just waits for you
      B                                 A              B
And I fell in with the wrong crowd like sinners always do


Now here I sit in prison, just waiting for the day
When they'll lead me thru that door and burn my life away
Oh mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong

   E                           A               E
Oh mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own
    A                 E                     B      E
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
