Chords with lyrics
The capo is on the 3rd fret, and this is just a basic outline of the chords. As you can tell,
the studio recording is much more involved. Enjoy.
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm FF G+G
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm FF G+G
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
I?m just a lonesome ol? rounder
FF
Never meant to hurt no one
G+G
But some flames are hard to simmer
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
I wore my pride on my bad side
FF G+G
and on the other kept my hand close by the trigger
FF G+G
Some folks are guided by the weight of their tongues
FF G+G
But we all fall silent at the end of a gun, And now I?m
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
Just a lonesome ol? rounder
FF G+G
With a number for my name and a rope to haunt my dreams
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
They?re gonna hang me boys from a tall, tall tree
FF G+G
Those demons, they?ll be the death of me
FF G+G
Some folks are guided by some light of the Lord
FF G+G
But me I was blinded and I?ll never afford my salvation
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm FF G+G
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm FF G+G
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
I?m just a lonesome ol? rounder
FF G+G
Darkness grows, and then it?s gone
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
And at the end of this lonely road
FF G+G
Those deeds you?ve done they say you?ll never go home
FF G+G
Some folks are guided by the love they share
FF G+G
But darkness called and left me unaware
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
Now I?m just a lonesome ol? rounder
FF G+G
With a few last words and one last meal
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
They?re gonna hang me, boys, come the morning light
FF G+G
When darkness smiles and all is still
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm FF G+G (fade slowly until you end on a C majorC)
All is still
