A                                   Bm 
We've moved on six miles from where we were yesterday 
    A7/C#              Dm                 Dm  C#m Cm Bm 
And yesterday is but a long long ways away 
Bm            A7/C#       D           B 
So we'll camp out tonight beneath the bright starlight 
       A                          G            D 
And forget rotten peaches and the places we've stayed 



A                        Bm 
I left from the dockland two years ago now 
Bm/C    A7/C#                Dm 
Made my way over on the S.S. Marie 
         Bm         A7/C#       D           B 
And I've always had trouble wherever I have settled 
A                  G          D 
Rotten peaches are all that I see 


G               A             D   D4 D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
G                          A                        D D4 D 
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 
A             E/G#     Dm           Bm 
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one 
         A     G              D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
G               A             D   D4 D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
G                          A                        D D4 D 
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 
A             E/G#     Dm           Bm 
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one 
         A     G              D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 



A                               Bm 
There ain't no green grass in a U.S. state prison 
Bm/C        A7/C#                   Dm                Dm C#m Cm Bm 
There is no one to hold when you're sick for your wife 
   Bm            A7/C#        D                  B 
And each day out you'll pick, you'll pick rotten peaches 
            A                      G            D 
You'll pick rotten peaches for the rest of your life 



        A                 Bm                Bm/C 
Oh I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills 
      A7/C#                   D    Dm 
For I lie in the light of the Lord 
       Bm          A7/C#         D              B 
And my home is ten thousand, ten thousand miles away 
      A             G         D 
And I guess I won't see it no more 


G               A             D   D4 D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
G                          A                        D D4 D 
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 
A             E/G#     Dm           Bm 
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one 
         A     G              D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
G               A             D   D4 D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
G                          A                        D D4 D 
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 
A             E/G#     Dm           Bm 
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one 
         A     G              D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
         A     G               D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 
         A     G               D 
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
