A Bm
We've moved on six miles from where we were yesterday
A\C# Dm Dm C#m Cm Bm
And yesterday is but a long long ways away
Bm A\C# D B(no 3rd)
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
A\C# Dm
Made my way over on the S.S. Marie
Bm A\C# D B(no 3rd)
And I've always had trouble wherever I have settled
A G D
Rotten peaches are all that I see
G A D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G A D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A E Dm Bm
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
A G D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
(REPEAT)*
A Bm
There ain't no green grass in a U.S. state prison
A\C# Dm Dm C#m Cm Bm
There is no one to hold when you're sick for your wife
Bm A\C# D B(no 3rd)
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
Oh I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills
D Dm
For I lie in the light of the Lord
Bm A\C# D B(no 3rd)
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
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G A D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A E Dm Bm
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
A G D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G A D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
G A D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A E Dm Bm
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the, 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
A G
La la la la la la, la la la la la la,
D
La la la la la la.
A G D
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la.
