Am                                       Dm
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
        Am                          E
Sometimes can't even see the reason why
   Am                               Dm
I guess I keep a-gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
     Am                E                Am
It's easier than just waitin' around to die
 
 
Am                                Dm
One time, friends, I had a Ma, I even had a Pa
Am                                       E
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
          Am                      Dm
She told him to take care of me, headed down to Tennessee
    Am                 E                Am
It's easier than just waitin' around to die
 
 
Am                                    Dm
I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
Am                                   E
She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly
Am                                     Dm
I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine and hopped a train
Am                       E                Am
Seemed easier than just waitin' around to die
 
 
Am                                Dm
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
   Am                                E
We robbed a man, and brother did we fly
    Am                           Dm
The posse caught up with me and drug me back to Muskogee
     Am                       E                 Am
It's two long years I've been waitin' around to die
 
 
Am                            Dm
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
Am                                   E
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
    Am                        Dm
His name's Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Am                    E              Am
Together we're gonna wait around and die

No it shouldn't..E7 possibly but not Em..when it goes the the E there's probably no third played but E major is implied.

This is completely wrong. The real chords are Gm, Cm, D for the main verses. With D7 and Eb to complete the changes. Standard tuning.
