Chords with lyrics

C majorC         G+G
John Hardy oh he was a desperate little man
C majorC         G+G
Carried a gun everyday
    C majorC          G+G
Well he shot down a man on a West Virginia line

They seen John Hardy gettin' away, poor boy,

Seen John Hardy gettin' away

  C majorC               G+G
But they cornered John Hardy on a tombstone bridge
C majorC          G+G
Thought that he was free
C majorC               G+G
But a deputy sheriff came and caught him by the arm

He said, Johnny come and go with me, poor boy,

Johnny come and go with me

   C majorC            G+G
John Hardy had a mother and a father too
C majorC        G+G
Tryin to go his bail
C majorC           G+G
There was no bail out for the mother and man

They put ole John Hardy back in jail, poor boy,

Throw John Hardy back in jail

   C majorC       G+G
John Hardy He had a pretty little wife
C majorC              G+G
The dress that she wore was blue
C majorC                 G+G
She ran through the jailhouse, she fell down on her knees

She said Johnny I been true to you, yes I have,

Johnny I been true to you


   C majorC        G+G
John Hardy he stood inside his cell
C majorC               G+G
The tears are rollin from his eyes
C majorC           G+G
I've been the death of many an honest man

Now I am going to die alone, now I am goin to die

     C majorC             G+G
Well I've been to the east, and I've been to the west
C majorC             G+G
I've been this whole wide world round
C majorC                G+G
I've been to the north, and I've been way down south

Now take me to my hangman's ground Oh Lord,

Take me to my hangman's ground
