Intro:
G

Verse:
G                  C
Early one morning, with time to kill
   Em                        C
I borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill
   G                 C
I saw a lone rider, crossing the plane
    Em                     C
I drew a beed on him, to practice my aim
Am                  F#m
My Brother's rifle went off in my hand
   Am             C          G
A shot rang out across the land
     C                          Em
The horse he kept running, the rider was dead

Chorus:
   G               C              G
I hung my head, I hung my head, I hung my head,

Verse:
G                      C
I set off running, to wake from this dream
Em                    C
My brother's rifle, went into the stream
G                    C
I kept on running, into the salt lands
  Em                             C
That's where they found me, my head in my hands
Am                       F#m
The sheriff he asked me, why had I run
Am                   C            G
Then it came to me, just what I had done
   C                   C    Em
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead

Chorus:
   G               C
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               C
I hung my head, I hung my head

Verse:
G                  C
Early one morning, with time to kill
Em                  C
I see the gallows, up on the hill
G                        C
Out in the distance, a trick of the brain
   Em                  F#m
I see a lone rider, crossing the plain
Am                         D
He's come to give me, to see what they done
 D                    G
We'll ride together, till kingdom come
  C                      Em
Pray for no mercy, for soon I'll be dead

Chorus:
   G               C
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               C
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               C
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               C
I hung my head, I hung my head
