Key: A
Capo: No Capo
[Intro]
A D E A
[Verse 1]
A D
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
A E
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
A D
His mama named him Tommy, folks just called him "Yellow"
A E A
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
[Verse 2]
A D
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
A E
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
A D
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
A E A
"Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun
[Chorus]
A D A
Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
E
Walk away from trouble if you can
A D A
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
E A
I hope you're old enough to understand:
E A
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
