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
