[Intro]
C  Dm  Am     C  Dm  Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
C               Dm            Am
Whiskey's gonna wash my sins away
C                Dm                Am
Devil's got that barbed wire on my soul
C               Dm              Am
If the good die young like they all say
    C              Dm              Am
The way I'm riding gets some dying old
F
Finger on the trigger, I'm a loaded gun
Am                        Em
Foot on the middle, I'm a rolling one
F              Em              G
When I'm gone, ride it on my stones
 
 
[Chorus]
        F             C
Take my fire, take my living
              G                        Dm
Step and roll down, better take me out winning
               F
Took it to the church, took it to the river
C                    G                    D
But the river said, "Ain't no saving that sinner"
F                 Em            Am
Hell no, hell no, hell no, hell knows
        G
All the hell I paid
F                               Em
Hell no, hell no, hell no, hell knows
                  G                           Am
All the hell I've raised, I'ma take it to the grave
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                    Dm             Am
Dirt, the blood, the scars along my hands
    C                  Dm          Am
Red letters, they keep rattling my bones
    F
Bad habits ain't gonna have to miss me
        Em                      G
They're gonna be there when I'm six deep
 
 
[Chorus]
        F             C
Take my fire, take my living
              G                        Dm
Step and roll down, better take me out winning
               F
Took it to the church, took it to the river
C                    G                    D
But the river said, "Ain't no saving that sinner"
F                 Em            Am
Hell no, hell no, hell no, hell knows
        G
All the hell I paid
F                               Em
Hell no, hell no, hell no, hell knows
                  G                           Am
All the hell I've raised, I'ma take it to the grave
 
 
[Bridge]
    F
Bad habits ain't gonna have to miss me
       Em
'Cause I'll be taking them with me
 
 
[Chorus]
        F             C
Take my fire, take my living
              G                        Dm
Step and roll down, better take me out winning
               F
Took it to the church, took it to the river
C                    G                    D
But the river said, "Ain't no saving that sinner"
F                 Em            Am
Hell no, hell no, hell no, hell knows
        G
All the hell I paid
F                               Em
Hell no, hell no, hell no, hell knows
                  G                           Am
All the hell I've raised, I'ma take it to the grave
 
 
[Outro]
Am
All the hell I've raised, I'ma take it to the grave
Am
All the hell I've raised, I'ma take it to the grave
