This isn't a 100% accurate version of the intro, but it should give an idea of the  
kinds of hammer-ons etc. that are going on here and throughout the song.

Intro: Am-F-G (4x)


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 (2x)


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 (2x)

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.
