Ballad of a Lonely Man (Acoustic)

(Mike Ness)

I heard this acoustic version aon a radio sshow in Denver...1999 or so..Mike

plays a

nice boom-chuck" fast strum a la The Man In Black...I play it "G-C-D-Em" but

it can be

played in the Key of E as well...
Capo 1st Fret (or not)

Verse 1
G C G
I'm young and I'm strong
G D C G
I've got this God forsaken world by the balls
G D C G
I've got a one way ticket to freedom
G D G
Ain't no one now, gonna take it from me

Verse 2

I was a soldier, age twenty-one

In a war, not sure what I was fighting for

And yet I turned from a boy to a man there

Goodbye to innocence and a sweet sixteen
Chorus:
(Walk to Em from G)
Em C G D
My whole life I could not arrange
Em C G D
My wicked ways I could never change
G Em D G
Don't try, don't try now to understand
