Capo 3

D G D G Em C G D twice

I got the [D]news just last [G]evening
Matilda was [D]taking off her [G]shoes
Her mamma [Em]brought me a cup of [C]coffee
I was getting' [G]old but I couldn't [D]lose
Get up at [D]five to watch the [G]sun rise
Matilda's [D]wearing that funny [G]smirk
I say good[Em]bye for the [C]last time
Grab my [G]gun and go to [D]work

Chorus:
Forty [C]years on the [G]machine line
[D]You got yours, I [G]got what's mine
And [C]mister, won't you [G]tell me why
you [Em]set me [D]free
Oh, Ma[C]tilda grab the [G]keys and wine
And [Am]meet me [C/B]further [C]down the line
In Pa[G]ducah or the [Em]hills of Bowling [D]Green

Drive to the corner of 1st and Crescent
Park my car in the boss' spot
Seems my cut was always less than
What he done and what he got
Go to his office and kick the door in
Stuff like that don't matter now
I say, 'Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
And it don't pay much anyhow

Chorus

Solo

Now it's RPM's and bourbon
Took Charlie's car and hit the road
And now I'm runnin' with the shadows
And the ghost of old Tom Joad
Well, they caught me five miles from Springfield
The authorities, they took me down
And though the DA says he's gonna kill me
I think I'm quite alright for now

Chorus
