Verse 1

Am                   Em        D            Am
New blood joins this earth and quickly he's subdued.
        Am              Em            D                      Am
Through constant pained disgrace, the young boy learns their rules.
     Am                   Em       D                 Am
With time the child draws in, this whipping boy done wrong.
Am                  Em            D                   Am
Deprived of all his thoughts, the young man struggles on and on.
                   C            G         Am
He's known, ooh, a vow unto his own, that never from this day
    C                 G    E
his will they'll take away.

Chorus

Am        C               G            Em                          Am
What I've felt, what I've known, never shined through in what I've shown.
      C         G          E                   Am
Never be, never see. Won't see what might have been.
          C               G            Em                          Am
What I've felt, what I've known, never shined through in what I've shown.
      C           G        E        Am
Never free, never me. So I dub thee Unforgiven.

Verse 2

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

Chorus

Am        C               G            Em                          Am
What I've felt, what I've known, never shined through in what I've shown.
      C         G          E                   Am
Never be, never see. Won't see what might have been.
          C               G            Em                          Am
What I've felt, what I've known, never shined through in what I've shown.
      C           G        E        Am
Never free, never me. So I dub thee Unforgiven.
