Intro: Am-F-G x 4
Verse 1:
Am F G
I ain't no super boy
Am F G
I ain't no yankee son
Am F G
I ain't what you've been lookin' for
Am F G
I ain't your chosen one

Am F G
For to blame myself
Am F G
For comin' home with my flask in hand
Am F G
A mouth full of fiery hell
E Am
This is my confessionary hymn
Verse 2:
I cannot save you my wretched soul
You got this thing all wrong
Lying here on my jail cell bed
Has got me etching down this song
How could a man such as I kill a man like him
Without a second thought of mind
I love my wife well, too damn much
to see her with a man of his kind
This is my confessionary hymn

Well I ain't no super boy
I ain't no yankee son
I ain't what you've been looking for
I ain't your chosen one
Well my day is close, it's my fault I suppose
I got that man's blood on my hands
So light your fires, my dear, prison course
This is the day my pain will end
This is my confessionary hymn

When you pass there upon my grave, don't forget my confessionary hymn
