Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]I've [D]been sleeping all night
[G]Still I'm not out of [D]my min[A]d[G][D][A]
I lived with my [D]mama, till I was sixteen
Old time reli[G]gion, the sweetest of [D]dreams
And now that I'm aging,
and conscience is dim
In my left hand the
[A]Bible, in my [G]right hand an old purple [D]tent
[A]I went to the d[D]octors, cause I was unwell
He said, [G]my boy, you are shot to hell
I'm going to write you a prescrip[D]tion
For some pure heroin
But I traded that [A]sucker
For a [G]six -pack of that old purple tin
[D]The [A]old purple tin
[D]The old purple tin
This sweet testament,
[G]Lord, to the state that I'm [D]in
I've drunk it all day, I've drunk it all night
The old purple [A]tin, oh
[G]Lord, lights up my [D]life[A][D]
[G][D][G][D]
[A][G][D][A]
I
I am in [D]prison, the light never
shines I can't see my
[G]Bible, so dark is the [D]night
I'm waiting for letters that never get sent
All my brothers and [A]sisters on the [G]corner
with that old purple [D]tin
[A]The old purple tin[D]
The old purple tin
Sing it now
Sweet testimony,
[G]Lord
Sweet prophecy,
Lord
To the state that I'm [D]in
I have drunk it all day
I have drunk it all night
The old [A]purple tin
Oh
[G]Lord, lights up my [D]life
[G]Lights up my lif[D]e
[G]Lights up my lif[Gm]e
Lights up my [D]life
you
