A D F#m D
[Verse 1]
A D Early one morning, with time to kill F#m D I borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill A D I saw a lone rider, crossing the plane F#m D I drew a beed on him, to practice my aim Bm G#dim My Brother's rifle went off in my hand E7 A A shot rang out across the land D F#m The horse he kept running, the rider was dead A D I hung my head, I hung my head
[Verse 2]
A D I set off running, to wake from the dream F#m D My brother's rifle, went into the stream A D I kept on running, in-to the salt lands F#m D And that's where they found me, my head in my hands Bm G#dim The sheriff he asked me, why had I run E7 A Then it came to me, just what I had done D F#m And all for no reason, just one piece of lead A D I hung my head, I hung my head

A D Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there F#m D I see the judge, high up in his chair A D "Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind F#m D And we'll ask the jury, what verdict they find" Bm G#dim I said "I felt the power, of death over life E7 A I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife D F#m I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead" A D I hung my head, I hung my head A D I hung my head, I hung my head

A D Early one morning, with time to kill F#m D I see the gallows, up on the hill A D And out in the distance, a trick of the brain F#m D I see a lone rider, crossing the plain Bm G#dim He's come to fetch me, to see what they done E7 A We'll ride together, 'Til kingdom come D F#m I pray for God's mercy, for soon I'll be dead A D I hung my head, I hung my head A D I hung my head, I hung my head A D I hung my head, I hung my head
