1st verse:
Am Am                   Em Em         D D               Am Am
New blood joins this earth and quickly he's sub-dued
        Am Am                Em Em         D D                     Am Am
Through constant pain disgrace, the young boy learns their rules
     Am Am                   Em Em      D D                 Am Am
With time the child draws in this whipping boy done wrong
  Am Am                Em Em            D D                   Am Am
Deprived of all his thoughts, the young man struggles on and on
   Am Am       C C            G G        Am Am              Am Am
He known, a vow unto his own that never from this day
    C C                  G G       E E     Am Am
His will they'll take away_____


Chorus :
          C C               G G            Em Em                         Am Am
What I've felt, what I've known never shined through in what I've shown
      C C          G G         E E                   Am Am
Never be, Never see, won't see what might have been
          C C               G G           Em Em                          Am Am
What I've felt, what I've known,never shined through in what I've shown
      C C           G G        E E            Am Am*    Am Am*
Never free, never me, so I dub the unforgiven


2nd verse:
     Am Am             Em Em       D D              Am Am
They dedicate their lives to running all of his
   Am Am                   Em Em        D D             Am Am
He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is
               Am Am       Em Em         D D              Am Am
Throughout the life the same, he's battled constantly
     Am Am              Em Em     D D              Am Am            Am Am
This fight he cannot win, a tired man they see no longer cares
     C C           G G           Am Am           Am Am
The old man then prepares to die regretfully
     C C               G G    E E    Am Am
That old man here is me_____


Chorus :
          C C               G G            Em Em                         Am Am
What I've felt, what I've known never shined through in what I've shown
      C C          G G         E E                   Am Am
Never be, Never see, won't see what might have been
          C C               G G           Em Em                          Am Am
What I've felt, what I've known,never shined through in what I've shown
      C C           G G        E E            Am Am*   Am Am*
Never free, never me, so I dub the unforgiven
