Branded Man
written and recorded by Merle Haggard
 
G                                  C              G
I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
                                D7
But they won't let my secret go untold
  G                                     C              G
I paid the debt I owed them but they're still not satisfied
                  D7             G
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
 
                                 C               G
When they let me out of prison I held my head up high
                                  D7
Determined I would rise above the shame
       G                           C                  G
But no matter where I'm living the black mark follows me
                   D7           G
I'm branded with a number on my name
 
Repeat #1
                                       C              G
If I live to be a hundred I guess I'll never clear my name
                                   D7
Cause everybody knows I've been in jail
   G                                   C                    G
No matter where I'm living I've got to tell them where I've been
                           D7          G
Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail
 
Repeat #1
 
tag:              D7             G
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
