Guitar chords with lyrics

C                 G
John Hardy oh he was a desperate little man
C                  G
Carried a gun everyday
        C                    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                             G
But they cornered John Hardy on a tombstone bridge
C                   G
Thought that he was free
C                             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                        G
John Hardy had a mother and a father too
C               G
Tryin to go his bail
C                     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              G
John Hardy He had a pretty little wife
C                           G
The dress that she wore was blue
C                                  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                G
John Hardy he stood inside his cell
C                             G
The tears are rollin from his eyes
C                      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                          G
Well I've been to the east, and I've been to the west
C                         G
I've been this whole wide world round
C                                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
