Subject: "The Man That I've Been" by Cory Morrow

Song: The Man That I've Been
Album: Cory Morrow Live - Double Exposure
Artist: Cory Morrow

Intro: E

Verse 1: E A E A
I spent my last two birthdays in the Travis County Jail
E A E B7
Tomorrow I go up for life but I should go straight to hell
B7 A E
Hell's got no more room for me and it's got no more time
A B7 E
I should be confessin' all my crimes

E A E A
Four years ago my debt was piled high upon my mind
E A E B7
And I devised a plan to rob a bank just to survive
B7
Oh, but when the gunsmoke cleared
A E
I saw two bodies on the ground
A B7 E
Thirteen hours later I was found

Chorus: B A E
Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I've been
B
'Cause in the waking of tomorrow
A E
They will find me full of sin
A E B E
I got news for you, I ain't as bad as they say
A E
I got news for you it looks like,
B A E
That just don't matter today

Instru: E A E B7 E

Verse 2: E A E A
Well the verdict came and right away, "Guilty Indeed"
E A B7
A 99 to life is what I heard that jury

Well, they thought they might impress upon me
A E
Crime it does not pay
A B7 E
I ain't one for listenin' today
E A E A
As the years go by and by upon a shadowed ground I walk
E A E B7
The people and the places of my past have now been lost
A E
The man that I've been is not the man I'd hoped to be
A B7 E
Now it's too late to find the good in me

Chorus: (2X)

Ending: E B A E
Ah, looks like it just don't matter today

Outro: E A E

----------------- Note: To get the same effect in the
Chords intro as Cory does, you must
----------------- apply hammer-ons and pull-offs on
E A B7 B G string of E chord to alternate
E 0 X X 5 between E and Em. Also in Chorus
A 2 0 2 7 you can use all Barre chords in
D 2 2 1 7 addition to using the B barre
G 1 2 2 6 chord. It will also work just
B 0 2 0 5 playing all chords open.
e 0 0 2 5
