INTRO: E  A  B  E

        E
I was a little bit different, always ahead of my time
                                                   B
And my daddy said son you're headin' for a life of crime
       E                                        A
And my mama tells me I'm a curse of the neighborhood
      E                B                   E
But I won't change now even if I thought I could

       E
Well I left my home on the day I was 21
                                      B
Folks at home refer to me as prodigal son
      E                                        A
Small times, small change never did agree with me
          E                      B                 E
So I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree


CHORUS:
        A                                 E
Now I'm makin' you a promise, and you can take it to the witness stand
                                                    B
When I get a chance, I'll see you just as soon as I can
           E                                   A
Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me
              E                      B                 E
'Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree


INTRO

      E 
Now I must admit that your little boy's havin' fun
                                                      B
And I don't expect you to forgive all the things I've done
        E                                         A
Hey but believe me ma, I've learned me a thing or two
           E                 B                       E
I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for my daddy and you


CHORUS

           E                                   A
Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me
              E                      B                 E
'Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
            E                      B                 E     
Yeah I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
