 Am         Am 
I was born, in a dump 
 Am                Am 
My mother died, yea my daddy got drunk 
 Am               Am 
They Left me here, to die or grow 
Am (let ring) 
In the middle of Tobacco Road 

 Am            Am  
I Grew up in a rusty shack 
 Am                  Am 
All I ever owned was hangin' on my back 
 Am            Am 
Lord knows how much I loathe 
Am (let ring) 
This place called Tobacco Road

 Am                    Am
