Chords

The capo is on the 3rd fret, and this is just a basic outline of the chords. As you can tell, the studio recording is much more involved. Enjoy. C G/B Am F G C G/B Am F G [Verse 1]
C                   G/B       Am
I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder

F
Never meant to hurt no one

G
But some flames are hard to simmer

C                  G/B      Am
I wore my pride on my bad side 

            F                                G
and on the other kept my hand close by the trigger
[Chorus]
F                             G
Some folks are guided by the weight of their tongues 

F                                G
But we all fall silent at the end of a gun, And now I’m 

C               G/B      Am
Just a lonesome ol’ rounder

        F                         G
With a number for my name and a rope to haunt my dreams
[Verse 2]
C                                 G/B           Am
They’re gonna hang me boys from a tall, tall tree

   F                          G
Those demons, they’ll be the death of me

   F                           G
Some folks are guided by some light of the Lord

  F                                  G
But me I was blinded and I’ll never afford my salvation
C G/B Am F G C G/B Am F G [Chorus 3]
C                   G/B       Am
I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder

   F                           G
Darkness grows, and then it’s gone

C                    G/B         Am
And at the end of this lonely road

F                                       G
Those deeds you’ve done they say you’ll never go home

F                             G
Some folks are guided by the love they share

F                                G
But darkness called and left me unaware

C                       G/B     Am
Now I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder 

 F                                  G
With a few last words and one last meal

C                           G/B                 Am
They’re gonna hang me, boys, come the morning light

F                                 G
When darkness smiles and all is still

          C  G/B Am  F  G  (fade slowly until you end on a C)
All is still
