D MajorD
John Wesley Harding
A augmentedA
Was a friend to the poor,
D MajorD
He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand.
A augmentedA
All along this countryside,
E MajorE
He opened a many a door,
A augmentedA
But he was never known
D MajorD
To hurt an honest man.
intro
D MajorD
'Twas down in Chaynee County,
A augmentedA
A augmentedA time they talk about,
D MajorD
With his lady by his side
A augmentedA
He took a stand.
And soon the situation there
E MajorE
Was all but straightened out,
A augmentedA
For he was always known
D MajorD
To lend a helping hand.
intro
D MajorD
All across the telegraph
A augmentedA
His name it did resound,
D MajorD
But no charge held against him
A augmentedA
Could they prove.
And there was no man around
E MajorE
Who could track or chain him down,
A augmentedA
He was never known
D MajorD
To make a foolish move.
Finish off with solo.
