 Chorus 1:

         Dm           Bb/F
            (Beggin') Beggin'...
         Em7-5                  A7
               Put your lovin' hand out baby
         Dm           Bb/F
            (Beggin') Beggin' you
         Em7-5                  A7
               Put your lovin' hand out baby

 Verse 1:

         Dm             Bb/F
            Ridin' high      when I was king
         Em7-5               A7
         Played it hard and fast 'cause I had everything
         Dm             Bb/F
            Walked away      want me then
         Em7-5              A7
         But easy come and easy go and it would end

 Chorus 2:

         (Beggin') I'm beggin you
         Won't you give you hand out baby
         (Beggin') Beggin'...
         Put your lovin' hand out baby

 Bridge 1:

         Dm7                 G
             I need you to understand
                Em7-5            A
         That I tried so hard to be a man
         Dm7                        G
         The kind of man you'd want in the end
         Em7-5                     A
         Only then can I begin to live again

 Verse 2:

         An empty shell   used to be
         Shadow of my life is hangin' over me
         Broken man   without a goal
         Don't even stand the devil's chance to win my soul

 Chorus 3:

         (Beggin') Beggin' you
         Won't you give your hand out baby
         (Beggin') Beggin' you
         Put your lovin' hand out baby

 Bridge 2:

         I'm fightin' hard to hold my own
         No, I just can't make it on all alone
         I'm holdin' on   I can't fall back 
         Now that big brass ring is a shade of black
