Merle Haggard – Huntsville (Guitar)

         E                     A
That old white haired judge in Dallas

       E      B7       E
Didn't pay my story no mind

        E                 A
They're takin' me down to Huntsville

    E             B7      E
I'm bringin' in a load of time

     E                           E7
They caught me on a caper that I planned for days

    A                   E
And proved everything I done

    E            A
I'm on my way to Huntsville

        E             B7        E
But I'm looking for a chance to run

   E                  A
My hands don't fit no choppin' pole

    E            B7     E
And cotton never was my beg

    E                    A
The man better keep both eyes on me

   E             B7       E
Or they're gonna lose old Hag

       E               E7
Hey it ain't so far to Mexico

     A               E
That I can’t find my way

        E                 A
They're takin' me down to Huntsville

    E       B7    E
But I'm not gonna stay

     E                A
They got me chain and leg irons

  E                B7   E
I guess they got a good excuse

     E                            A
They know I'm gonna run the first chance I get

      E                   B7     E
Cause they’re never gonna cut me loose

      E                         E7
And I really don't care if they shoot me down

     A             E
I'll never be free again

     E                 A
I've got two long life terms to do

E            B7     E
Both runnin' end on end

       E               E7
Hey it ain't so far to Mexico

     A               E
That I can’t find my way

        E                 A
They're takin' me down to Huntsville

    E       B7    E
But I'm not gonna stay
