Verse 1:
   C majorC    E7E7
Well, marry me
  A minorAm      FF
To a rope and a tree
C majorC       E7E7            C majorC
What that ol' judge called first degree
      C majorC      E7E7
And all the folks around town
    A minorAm
Swore to lay me
   FF
In the ground
C majorC        G+G           C majorC FF G+G C majorC
They found out I put that poor boy down

Verse 2:
    C majorC
You see I
      E7E7
Did not much care
    A minorAm
For the way
         FF
That he'd sit and glare
   C majorC
So I closed
       G+G
His eyes for good
        C majorC   E MajorE A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC
With a bar-room chair


Verse 3:
  C majorC         E7E7
So, gonna lay my poor bones
  A minorAm         FF
Past Appalachian stones
C majorC        G+G          C majorC
Far beneath that cold ground all alone
            E7E7
Oh but if you're asking me
A minorAm           FF
Where I would rather be
    C majorC
It was worth it
      G+G
To see that boy
         C majorC
Cut from the knees


Outro:
C majorC E7E7 A minorAm FF
C majorC G+G G MajorG C majorC
