Branded Man
written and recorded by Merle Haggard
Key Bb 34-130 U5-1
 
 G                                    C                G 
I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
                                 D7 
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
                   D7               G 
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
 
                                  C                 G 
When they let me out of prison I held my head up high
                                   D7 
Determined I would rise above the shame
        G                             C                    G 
But no matter where I'm living the black mark follows me
                    D7             G 
I'm branded with a number on my name
 
Repeat #1
                                        C                G 
If I live to be a hundred I guess I'll never clear my name
                                    D7 
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
                            D7            G 
Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail
 
Repeat #1
 
tag:               D7               G 
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
