Intro

A5 Asus4 Am x8

Verse 1

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

Chorus

* D7 ** E7
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post 
Tied to the whippin' post, 
Tied to the whippin' post, 
C N.C.
Good lord, I feel like I'm dying

Instrumental

 
Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G x12

Verse 2

My friends tell me that I've been such a fool,   
And I have to stand by and take it, 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

* D7 ** E7
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post 
Tied to the whippin' post, 
Tied to the whippin' post, 
C N.C.
Good lord, I feel like I'm dying
