Am                            C 
Ain't got time to shoot the breeze, 
G                 Em 
Got no time to blow, 
Am                C  
Excuse me mister if you please,  
Em         Am 
I gotta go 
Am                               C 
Born one morn on the day of the dead  
G                   Em 
In a bombed out bungalow. 
Am                             C 
My momma kissed my cheek and said, 
Em         Am 
I gotta go 


F                    C 
I gotta go somewhere, 
G        Am 
I gotta go  
Am                     F                        
Wastin' time standing here 
Em         Am 
I gotta go 


Am                     C 
They put me in an orphanage  
G            Em 
West of Tupelo  
Am                         C 
I told em when I burnt that bridge, 
Em        Am 
I gotta go 
Am                  C 
Stole a car; got a gun  
G                 Em 
Robbed the Hidey-Ho 
Am                      C 
I left Memphis on the run 
Em        Am 
I gotta go 

F                  C 
I gotta go somewhere, 
G        Am 
I gotta go   
Am                     F 
Wastin' time standing here 
Em        Am 
I gotta go 


Am                     C 
Five card stud, deuces wild 
G                  Em 
Three kings in a row 
Am                              C 
I turned that diamond deuce and smiled 
Em       Am 
I gotta go        
Am                         C 
They tracked my down and took my take 
G                     Em 
Brother don't you know 
Am                         C 
I told them boys there's some mistake  
Em          Am 
I gotta go 


F                  C 
I gotta go somewhere, 
G         Am 
I gotta go  
Am                   F 
Wasting time standing here, 
Em         Am 
I gotta go 

Am                        C 
Cold Steel up against my head 
G                         Em 
They turned the lights down low 
Am                          C 
In case you didn't hear I said 
Em     Am 
I gotta go 
Am                           C 
These are your very last words, sir 
G                  Em 
Say em nice and slow, 
Am                              C 
My last words on this planet were... 


F                  C 
I gotta go somewhere, 
G     Am 
I gotta go  
Am                   F 
Wasting time standing here, 
Em    Am 
I gotta go
