Chords

[Intro] F A7 Dm Bb F A7 F [Verse 1]
      F        A7
Well, marry me

     Dm         Bb
To a rope and a tree

F             C7                        F
What that ol' judge called first degree

F                        A7
And all the folks around town

         Dm            Bb
Swore to lay me in the ground

F                       C7
When they found out I'd put that poor boy down
Bb C F [Verse 2]
F                       A7
You see, I did not much care

        Dm                    Bb
For the way that he'd sit and glare

     F                   C7                         F
So I closed his eyes for good with a bar-room chair
F A7 Dm Bb F C7 F [Verse 3]
    F                  A7
So, go and lay my poor bones

Dm               Bb
Past Appalachian stone

F                C7                    F
Far beneath that cold ground all alone
[Verse 4]
F                           A7
Oh, but if you're asking me

Dm                      Bb
Where I would rather be

       F                    C7
It was worth it to see that boy cut from the knees
[Outro] F A7 Dm Bb F C7 F
