Back Up Against The Wall

Written by Buddy Buie/J.R. Cobb

	  		Intro:  B           A/B          E             D  
        
        B           A/B          E           D  B 
  
B        
I was dealin' up and down the highway 
                                   E 
Till they caught me with a heavy load 
     F#        
They sentenced me to hard labor 
  E7                           B 
Workin' on the side of the road 
                             
Now I don't deny I was guilty 
                        E 
And I know I broke the law 
F# 
I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope 
            E7                   B 
And my back was up against the wall 
 
Chorus: 
B 
Now I'm right outside your window 
                          E 
Honey, open up and let me in 
    F#                
I broke out of jail this mornin' 
         E                    B 
And I ain't never goin' back again 
 
I just had to stop by for a minute 
                           E 
And I can't stay long at all 
      F#                    
'Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun 
      E7                     B 
And my back is up against the wall 
 
(Back to first Part of Intro then solo) 
 
Verse  
B 
I was shackled to a three-time loser 
               E 
A man named Jefferson 
F#                  
One night we got to talkin' 
    E7                    B 
And I asked him what he'd done 
 
He said a man fell over my razor 
 
In the middle of a bar room brawl 
    F#        
But don't you see, it was him or me 
            E7                   B 
And my back was up against the wall 
 
Chorus (2 x's) 
 
Ending 
F#   
Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun 
       E7                    B 
And my back is up against the wall 
 
B     F#    
Yeah, I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun 
       E7                     B 
And my back is up against the wall 
 
B        A/B      E           D B 
 
 
Note the A/B in the Intro is like an A with a B note on top
