INTRO: Bb Gm Eb Cm Gm Bb Eb 2x
VERSE:
Bb Gm Eb
Early one morning, with time to kill
Cm Gm Bb Eb
I borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill
Bb Gm Eb
I saw a lone rider, Crossing the plain
Cm Gm Bb Eb
I drew a bead on him, To practice my aim
Cm Cm/Bb F
My brother's rifle, Went off in my hand
F/G F F/A F Bb
A shot rang out across the land
Eb Cm Gm
The horse he kept running, the rider was dead
Eb Bb Gm Eb Cm
I hung my head, I hung my head
VERSE:
Bb Gm Eb Cm
I set off running, to wake from the dream
Gm Bb Eb
My brother's rifle, went into the stream
Bb Gm Eb
I kept on running, in-to the salt lands
Cm Gm Bb Eb
And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
Cm Cm/Bb F F/G
The sheriff he asked me, Why had I run
F F/A F Bb
Then it came to me, just what I had done
Eb Cm Gm
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
Eb Bb Gm Eb
I hung my head, I hung my head
BREAK: Bb Gm Eb Cm Gm Bb Eb 2x
VERSE:
Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
I see the judge, High up in his chair
"Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind
And we'll ask the jury, what verdict they find"
I said "I felt the power, of death over life
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
Eb Bb Gm Eb
I hung my head, I hung my head
Cm Bb Gm Eb Cm
I hung my head, I hung my head
BREAK: Bb Gm Eb Cm Gm Bb Eb 2x
VERSE:
Bb Gm Eb
Early one morning, with time to kill
Cm Gm Bb Eb
I see the gallows, up on the hill
Bb Gm Eb
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
Cm Gm Bb Eb
I see a lone rider, crossing the plain
Cm Cm/Bb F F/G
He's come to fetch me, to see what they done
F F/A F Bb
We'll ride together, ' Til kingdom come
Eb Cm Gm
I pray for God's mercy, for soon I'll be dead
Eb Bb Gm Eb Cm
I hung my head, I hung my head
Bb Gm Eb Cm
I hung my head, I hung my head
Bb Gm Eb Cm
I hung my head, I hung my head
Bb Gm Eb Cm
I hung my head, I hung my head
Bb Gm Eb Cm
I hung my head, I hung my head
