A5   Am(on 2nd fret)   A(on 5th fret)   Am(on 2nd fret) A5


            I've been run down,  and I've been lied to,

            And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool.

            She took all my money,  wrecked my new car,

            Now she's with one of my good time buddies

            Drinkin in some cross town bar

            B5          D5                   E5
      CHORUS:      Sometimes I feel,    sometimes I feel,
                             A5         D5        C5
         |       Like I've been tied to the whippin' post
              A5           D5        C5
         |       Tied to the whippin' post,
              A5           D5        C5
         |       Tied to the whippin' post,
              C5    Tacet
        -      Good lord I feel like I'm dying.


            My friends tell me   that I've been such a fool,

            And I have to stand by and take if, baby, all for loving you.

            Drown myself in sorrow  and I look at what you've done,

            But nothing seems to change, the bad times stay the same

            And I can't go on

            CHORUS
