INTRO
| G | C | Em | C |
| G | C | Em | C |

G C
Early one morning with time to kill
Em C
I borrowed a rifle and sat on a hill
G C
I saw a lone rider crossing the plain
Em C
I drew a bead on him to practice my aim

Am D
My brother's rifle went off in my hand
D G
A shot rang out across the land
C Em
The horse, it kept running the rider was dead
G C | Em | C |
I hung my head, I hung my head

G C
I set off running to wake from my dream
Em C
My brother's rifle went into the stream
G C
I kept on running into the south lands
Em C
That's where they found me, my head in my hands

Am D
The sheriff he asked me why had I run
D G
And then it came to me just what I had done
C Em
And all for no reason just one piece of lead
G C | Em | C |
I hung my head, I hung my head

SOLO
| G | C | Em | C |
| G | C | Em | C |

G C
Here in the court house the whole town was there
Em C
I see the judge high up in his chair
G C
"Explain to the court room what went through your mind
Em C
And we'll ask the jury what verdict they find"

Am D
I felt the power of death and life
D G
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
C Em
I beg their forgiveness, I wish I were dead
G C | Em | C |
I hung my head, I hung my head

SOLO
| Am | D | G | C | Em | C |
| G | C | Em | C |
| Am | D | D | G | C | Em |
| G | C | Em | C |

G C
Early one morning with time to kill
Em C
I see the gallows high up on a hill
G C
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
Em C
I see a lone rider crossing the plain

Am D
He's come to fetch me to see what they've done
D G
And we'll ride together to kingdom come
C Em
I prayed for god's mercy for soon I'll be dead
G C Em C
I hung my head, I hung my head
G C | Em | C |
I hung my head

OUTRO
