[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Chorus 1]
I'd [G]like to hold my [G]head up
and be [C]proud of who I [G]am
But they won't let my secret go un[D]told[A][D]
I [G]paid the debt I [G]owed them,
but they're [C]still not satis[G]fied
Now I'm a branded [D]man out in the [G]cold

[Verse 1]
When they [G]let me out of [G]prison
I [C]held my head up [G]high
Determined I would rise
above the [D]shame[A][D]
But no [G]matter where I [G]travel
the [C]black mark follows [G]me
I'm branded with a [D]number on my [G]name

[Chorus 2]
I'd [G]like to hold my [G]head up
and be [C]proud of who I [G]am
But they won't let my secret go un[D]told[A][D]
I [G]paid the debt I [G]owed them,
but they're [C]still not satis[G]fied
Now I'm a branded [D]man out in the [G]cold
[G][D][G][G]

[Verse 2]
If I [G]live to be a [G]hundred
I guess I'll [C]never clear my [G]name
'Cause everybody knows
I've been in [D]jail[A][D]
No [G]matter where I'm [G]living,
I've got to [C]tell them where I've [G]been
Or they'll send me back to [D]prison if I [G]fail

[Chorus 3]
I'd [G]like to hold my [G]head up
and be [C]proud of who I [G]am
But they won't let my secret go un[D]told[A][D]
I [G]paid the debt I [G]owed them,
but they're [C]still not satis[G]fied
Now I'm a branded [D]man out in the [G]cold

[Outro 1]
Now [G]I'm a branded [D]man out in the [G]cold[G]
