[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G Em Early one morning, with time to kill G Em I borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill G Em I saw a lone rider, crossing the plane G Em I drew a beed on him, to practice my aim Am D My Brother's rifle went off in my hand Am G A shot rang out across the land C G The horse he kept running, the rider was dead
[Chorus]
G Em G I hung my head, I hung my head, I hung my head,
[Verse]
G Em I set off running, to wake from this dream G Em My brother's rifle, went into the stream G Em I kept on running, into the salt lands G Em That's where they found me, my head in my hands Am D The sheriff he asked me, why had I run Am G Then it came to me, just what I had done C G And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
[Chorus]
G Em I hung my head, I hung my head G Em I hung my head, I hung my head

[Verse]
G Em Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there G Em I see the judge, high up in his chair: G Em "Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind G Em And we'll ask the jury, what verdict they find" Am D I said "I felt the power, of death over life Am D (The power to) orphaned his children, widowed his wife C G I ask no forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
[Chorus]
G Em I hung my head, I hung my head G Em I hung my head, I hung my head
[Verse]
G Em Early one morning, with time to kill G Em I see the gallows, up on the hill G Em Out in the distance, a trick of the brain G Em I see a lone rider, crossing the plain Am D He's come to give me, to see what they done Am D We'll ride together, till kingdom come C G I ask for no mercy, for soon I'll be dead
[Chorus]
G Em I hung my head, I hung my head G Em I hung my head, I hung my head G Em I hung my head, I hung my head G Em I hung my head, I hung my head
