Birmingham Chords & Lyrics - Zach Bryan

[INTRO]
[Em] [G] [C] [G] (2x)

[VERSE 1]
Well I [Em]killed a man in [G]Birmingham
I [C]hit him with a [G]tire iron
He [Em]did not move and I [G]do not give a damn[C] [G]

I’ve been [Em]working here
Like a [G]slavin’ mule
[C]Sucking the earth [G]dry of crude
[Em]Looking for a [G]way out of it all[C] [G]

[Em]Cops are coming
I can [G]feel em’ here
My [C]back is crawling with [G]standing hair
[Em]Wouldn’t mind to [G]see a few pigs fall[C] [G]

[CHORUS]
So take me [Em]down to the [G]river
My [C]blood all on the [G]floor
[Em]Cause i don't know if i can [G]carry this weight
Much [C]longer any[G]more

[Em]Take me up the [G]mountain
On a [C]cloud bound for the [G]sky
[Em]Don't go praying for [G]me
Because [C]tonight i'm prepared to [G]die

[INTERLUDE]
[Em] [G] [C] [G] (2x)

[VERSE 2]
And [Em]I often [G]wonder
What my [C]tombstone would [G]say
Would[Em] they mention any of my [G]good
Or just [C]evil in my [G]days

That[Em] night out there in [G]Birmingham
That [C]boy who tried to [G]rob me
I [Em]did not want to [G]but i had to
[C]Show that boy the [G]real me

[CHORUS]
So take me [Em]down to the [G]river
My [C]blood all on the [G]floor
[Em]Cause i don't know if i can [G]carry this weight
Much [C]longer any[G]more

[Em]Take me up the [G]mountain
On a [C]cloud bound for the [G]sky
[Em]Don't go praying for [G]me
Because [C]tonight i'm prepared to [G]die

[VERSE 3]
The [Em]dust has now [G]settled
From those [C]boys who busted [G]in
I [Em]am not a [G]bad man
But there's [C]bullets in my [G]skin

[CHORUS]
So take me [Em]down to the [G]river
My [C]blood all on the [G]floor
[Em]Cause i don't know if i can [G]carry this weight
Much [C]longer any[G]more

[Em]Take me up the [G]mountain
On a [C]cloud bound for the [G]sky
[Em]Don't go praying for [G]me
Because [C]tonight i'm prepared to [G]die
