Ami                  Emi
New blood joins this earth
    D              Ami
And quikly he's subdued
                      Emi
Through constant pain disgrace
    D                      Ami
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known

  C            G
A vow unto his own
     C               G
That never from this day
    C                 G   E
His will they'll take away

   Ami       C
R: What I've felt
             G
   What I've known
         Emi                         Ami
   Never shined through in what I've shown
   Never be
   Never see
   Won't see what might have been
   What I've felt
   What I've known
   Never shined through in what I've shown
   Never free
   Never me
   So I dub the unforgiven


They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

R:

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub the unforgiven
