[Intro]
A A A A D A E A
[Verse 1]
A
Just like Cain & Able,
A
I let the devil come 'round,
D
I'm the king of the garden,
A
wear a snake for a crown,
E
When the lord points his finger,
A
baby I'm goin' down
[Verse 2]
A
Well, I'm no Hells Angel,
A
But I like to pretend,
D
I'm the king of the highway,
A
On the prairie wind,
E
With a black leather soul,
A
I'm gonna ride to the end
[Chorus]
A
When I leave this house,
A
I ain't coming back,
A
leave this house,
A
I ain't coming back,
D
Tie my sins to the railway track,
A
Carve my initials with chicken scratch,
E
The Garden of Eden hasn't broken my back,
A
When I leave this house,
N.C.
I ain't coming back
[Solo]
A A D A E A
[Verse 3]
A
Well, hey now mama
A
Don't let your milk dry up
D
I'm a hungry child
A
with an empty cup
E
You can't feed that baby
A
when you're all shook up
[Chorus]
A
And when I leave this house
A
I ain't coming back
A
leave this house
A
I ain't coming back
D
Tie my sins to the railway track
A
Carve my initials with chicken scratch
E
The Garden of Eden hasn't broken my back
A
When I leave this house
N.C.
I ain't coming back
[Solo]
D A E A
D A E
[Verse 4]
A
Just like Cain & Able,
A
I let the devil come 'round,
D
I'm the king of the garden,
A
wear a snake for a crown,
E
When the lord points his finger,
A
baby I'm goin' down
[Chorus]
A
And when I leave this house
A
I ain't coming back
A
leave this house
A
I ain't coming back
D
Tie my sins to the railway track
A
Carve my way with chicken scratch
E
The Garden of Eden hasn't broken my back
A
When I leave this house
N.C.
I ain't coming back
[Outro]
A
When I leave this house
A
I ain't coming back
A
leave this house
A
I ain't coming back
D
Tie my sins to the railway track
A
Carve my initials with chicken scratch
E
The Garden of Eden hasn't broken my back
A
When I leave this house
N.C.
I ain't coming back
