Chords

Cadd9 can be played in place of the C chord, but I want to keep it simple for novice players [Intro] D C D D D C D [Verse]
          D      C                    D
Well look yonder Henry here comes the sheriff

                    C              D
And he's carrying a warrant in his hand

                       C                     D
Don't you run poor old Henry for he'll shoot you Lord Lord

                  A7        D
Not long will you be a free man
[Chorus]
           G                      D
Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars

      G                      D
For a crime that you did not do

         G                      D
Yeah the lies she swore in that district court

                     A7      D
Has proved to be the ruin of you
[Verse]
                  C                  D
Tried to warn you Henry not to cross her

                   C                 D
Tried to tell you about her vengeful ways

                    C             D
When you turned and left her for another

                A7                  D
She swore Henry that she'd make you pay
[Chorus]
           G                      D
Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars

      G                      D
For a crime that you did not do

         G                      D
Yeah the lies she swore in that district court

                     A7      D
Has proved to be the ruin of you

            C             D
Listen well all you young rounders

                         C           D
Heed the lesson poor old Henry never learned

                    C                D
That even hell with all its fire and power

             A7             D
Hath no fury like a woman's scorn
[Chorus]
           G                      D
Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars

      G                      D
For a crime that you did not do

         G                      D

Has proved to be the ruin of you
[Outro]
         G                      D
Yeah the lies she swore in that district court

                     A7      D   D
Has proved to be the ruin of you
