[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [C]
[C] Early one morning with [F] time to kill
I [Am] borrowed Jebb's rifle and [F] sat on the hill
I [C] saw a lone rider [F] crossing the plain
I [Am] drew a bead on him to [F] practice my aim
[Dm] My brother's rifle went [G] off in my hand
A [G] shot rang out a-[C]cross the land
The [F] horse, he kept running, the [Am] rider was dead
I [C] hung my head, I [F] hung my head
[C] [C] [C] [C]
[C] I set off running to [F] wake from the dream
[Am] My brother's rifle went [F] into the sheen
[C] I kept on running [F] into the south lands
[Am] That's where they found me, my [F] head in my hands
The [Dm] sheriff he asked me [G] why had I run
And [G] then it came to me just [C] what I had done
And [F] all for no reason, just [Am] one piece of lead
I [C] hung my head, I [F] hung my head
[C] [C] [C] [C]
[C] Here in the courthouse, the [F] whole town was there
[Am] I see the judge high [F] up in his chair
Ex-[C]plain to the courtroom what [F] went through your mind
And [Am] we'll ask the jury what [F] verdict they find
[Dm] I felt the power of [G] death over life
I [G] orphaned his children, I [C] widowed his wife
I [F] beg their forgiveness, I [Am] wish I was dead
I [C] hung my head, I [F] hung my head
I [C] hung my head, I [F] hung my head
[C] [C] [C] [C]
[C] Early one morning with [F] time to kill
[Am] I see the gallows [F] up on the hill
And [C] out in the distance, a [F] trick of the brain
I [Am] see a lone rider [F] crossing the plain
And [Dm] he's come to fetch me to [G] see what they done
And [G] we'll ride together 'Til [C] kingdom come
I [F] pray for God's mercy for [Am] soon I'll be dead
I [C] hung my head, I [F] hung my head
I [C] hung my head, I [F] hung my head
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] .
