Merle Haggard - "Branded Man"

Branded Man
Merle Haggard

G C G
I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
D
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
D G
Now I'm a branded man out un the cold

G C G
When they let me out of prison,I held my head up high
D
Determined I would rise above the shame
G C G
But no matter where I'm living,the black mark follows me
D G
I'm branded with a number on my name

Repeat verse 1

G C G
If I live to be a hundred,I guess I'll never clear my name
D
'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
D G
Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail

Repeat verse 1

D G
Now I'm a branded man out un the cold
