Intro - C, F, C, F, C, F

C
Early one morning
     F
With time to kill
  Am
I borrowed Jeb's rifle
    F
And sat on the hill
  C
I saw a lone rider
F
Crossing the plain
  Am
I drew a bead on him
   F
To practice my aim
Dm
My brother's rifle
     G
Went off in my hand

A shot rang out
C
Across the land
    F
The horse he kept running
    Am
The rider was dead
  C              F
I hung my head, I hung my head

C

C
I set off running
   F
To wake from the dream
Am
My brother's rifle
     F
Went into the sheen
C
I kept on running
F
Into the south lands
    Am
And that's where they found me
   F
My head in my hands
    Dm
The sheriff he asked me
G
Why had I run

Then it came to me
     C
Just what I had done
    F
And all for no reason
     Am
Just one piece of lead
  C              F
I hung my head, I hung my head

C

C
Here in the courthouse
    F
The whole town was there
Am
I see the judge
     F
High up in his chair
   C
"Explain to the courtroom
     F
What went through your mind
    Am
And we'll ask the jury
     F
What verdict they find"
Dm
"I felt the power
   G
Of death over life

I orphaned his children
  C
I widowed his wife
  F
I beg their forgiveness
  Am
I wish I was dead"
  C               F
I hung my head, I hung my head
  C               F
I hung my head, I hung my head

C

C
Early one morning
     F
With time to kill
Am
I see the gallows
F
Up on the hill
    C
And out in the distance
  F
A trick of the brain
  Am
I see a lone rider
F
Crossing the plain
Dm
And He's come to fetch me
   G
To see what they done

We'll ride together
C
To kingdom come
  F
I pray for God's mercy
    Am
For soon I'll be dead
  C               F
I hung my head, I hung my head
  C               F
I hung my head, I hung my head
  C               F
I hung my head, I hung my head
