[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.

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.
