American IV: The Man Comes Around 

For the A chord Play the a string then strum, then the e string and strum.
For the E chord it is the same. 
But for the D chord, play the d string then strum and then the a string and strum.
* Where I have this symbol, play the e string first then the a string.

A                E                     A     
I found him by the railroad track this morning
                     E          A    (a-0-0-2-4) 
I could see that he was nearly dead
D                             A
I knelt down beside him and I listened
        B7                              E    (e-0-2-4)  
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

              A              E           A
He said they let me out of prison out in Frisco
                     E                  A   (a-0-0-2-4)
For ten long years I paid for what I'd done
D                                A
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
E                                  A  (a-0-0-2-4)
To see my Rose and get to know my son

[Chorus]
D                                     A      (e-3-2)
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
E                               A                      (a-0-0-2-4)
Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
D                                 A     (e-3-2)
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
E *                                 A
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

A                   E                          A
Won`t you tell them I said thanks for waitin` for me
                E               A   (a-0-0-2-4)
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
D                           A
Tell my Rose to try to find another
         B7                               E     (e-0-2-4)
Cause it ain't right that she should live alone

  A             E               A
Mister here's a bag with all my money
                   E               A    (a-0-0-2-4)
It won't last them long the way it goes
D                                 A
God bless you for finding me this morning
E                                   A   (a-0-0-2-4)
Now don't forget to give my love to Rose

[Chorus]
D                                     A      (e-3-2)
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
E                                A                      (a-0-0-2-4)
Take her all my money, tell her  buy some pretty clothes
D                                  A    (e-3-2)
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
                
E (strum E slowly)               (a-4-3-2)  A   (strum A once to finish)
And don't forget to give my love to (pause) Rose

Enjoy! The one and only Man in Black.
