          D              G  
I got the news just last evening 
            D              G  
Matilda was taking off her shoes 
          Em                  C 
Her mamma brought me a cup of coffee 
               G                  D 
I was getting' old but I couldn't lose 
          D                 G     
Get up at five to watch the sun rise 
          D                  G  
Matilda's wearing that funny smirk 
          Em          C   
I say goodbye for the last time 
        G             D 
Grab my gun and go to work 
      C            G 
Forty years on the machine line 
D                G 
You got yours, I got what's mine 
    C                 G           
And mister, won't you tell me why  
    Em     D 
you set me free 
      C              G 
Oh, Matilda grab the keys and wine 
    Am      C/B     C  
And meet me further down the line 
     G            Em               D 
In Paducah or the hills of Bowling Green 
Drive to the corner of 1st and Crescent 
Park my car in the boss' spot 
Seems my cut was always less than  
What he done and what he got 
Go to his office and kick the door in 
Stuff like that don't matter now 
I say, ?Dyin' ain't much of a livin' 
And it don't pay much anyhow 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Solo) 
 
Now it's RPM's and bourbon 
Took Charlie's car and hit the road 
And now I'm runnin' with the shadows 
And the ghost of old Tom Joad 
Well, they caught me five miles from Springfield 
The authorities, they took me down 
And though the DA says he's gonna kill me 
I think I'm quite alright for now 
 
Chorus
