Chords with lyrics

E MajorE x 4

E MajorE
Well that judge he found me guilty of wrong doing
    A augmentedA              E MajorE
And he sentenced me to hang in mid-July
  E MajorE                       C#7C#7
He looked down at me and said your life?s a ruin
F#F#                   B7B7
If I were you I'd break right down and cry
   E MajorE
But nobody seems to care that I ain't guilty
 A augmentedA                  E MajorE
I never did the things they said I've done
   E MajorE                  C#7C#7
But I guess they're gonna have to hang somebody
     F#F#       B7B7      E MajorE
And it's lookin like I'm gonna be the one

Chorus:
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
So send my body home on a freight train
     A augmentedA                E MajorE
And don't worry none that I don't go first class
A augmentedA           E MajorE       C#7C#7
Send my body home on a freight train
  F#F#             B7B7
So everyone can see me when I pass
     A augmentedA             E MajorE
And don't worry none about no fancy funeral
   A augmentedA                E MajorE
Cause it don?t matter how they lay me down
   A augmentedA            E MajorE      C#7C#7
Just see they bury me out by mama's apple tree
  F#F#      B7B7       E MajorE
And send my body back to my home town


E MajorE
Well, my mama was one damn hard workin woman
    A augmentedA                E MajorE
And she tried to raise us kids without a paw
                         C#7C#7
The last thing that she said she was on her dying bed
  F#F#                B7B7
Was son don't get in trouble with the law
 E MajorE
Whenever my time comes to meet my maker
  A augmentedA              E MajorE
I'm going to try to do my very best
                     C#7C#7
I'm going try to stand and take it like a man
F#F#        B7B7      E MajorE
When they ask if I have one request
E MajorE
Well I?ll just say

Chorus:
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
So send my body home on a freight train

And don't worry none about no fancy funeral
   A augmentedA                E MajorE
Cause it don?t matter how they lay me down
   A augmentedA            E MajorE      C#7C#7
