(He strolled (G minor) along (G major) home)
I took my time
(G minor) (And he (D major) went to bed)
Thought I'd sleep some (A major)
(Laid his pistrol)
Big 22"
(Up under (D major) his head)
Verse 3
I keep it handy
(D major)
Well early in the mornin'
bout the break of day
I figured it was time to make a (A major) getaway
(D major) Steppin' right along but I
was steppin' too slow
Got surrounded by a sheriff (A major) down in Mexico
(D major) (Well he was
Verse 4
(G major) steppin' right along)
I were a hot- footin' it
(But he was steppin' (D major) too slow)
It was a sultry day
(Got sur (A major) rounded by a sheriff)
Boxed in
(In (D major) Mexico)
I didn't even have a chance
Verse 5
to see the country
(D major)
When I was arrested well
I didn't have a dime
The sheriff said,
'Son you're riding (A major) free this time
'Where (D major) you're going you
won't need a cent
'Cause the great state of Texas
gonna (A major) pay your rent
Verse 6
(' (G major) Cause where you're going)

Well he knows I'm broke
('Cause the (A major) great state of Texas)
Yippee!
(D major) (Gonna pay your rent)
Verse 7
I'm mighty grateful fellas
(D major)
Well I didn't have a key and
I didn't have a file
Naturally I stayed around
un (A major) til my trial (D major)
Judge was an old man, Ninety- three
And I didn't like the way the
(A major) jury looked at me (D major)
Verse 8
(Well the (G major) judge was an old man)
Too old (D major)
(Ninety- three)
Entirely too old
I (A major) didn't like the way,
The jury (D major) looked at me
I think they were suspicious
Verse 9
(The judge (D major) and jury they did agree)
(They all said murder in
the first (A major) (D major) degree)
(The judge said (D minor) same)
'Well I dunno whether to (D major) hang you or not,
But this here killin' of deputy sheriffs has
just naturally got to stop'
(You gotta point there (B flat major) (E flat major) judge)
Verse 10
It was a most (E flat major) unsatisfactory trial
They gave me ninety- nine years
on the (B flat major) hard rock pile (E flat major)
Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground
And all I ever did was shoot a
(B flat major) deputy (E flat major) down (A flat major)
Verse 11
(Ninety and nine) It could (A flat major)
have been life
(On the (E flat major) hard rock pile)
They might- a hung me
(And all he (G minor) ever (B flat major) did, (G minor)
Was shoot a deputy (E flat major) down)
This whole (F minor) (E flat major) (F minor)
(E flat major) thing has sure been
a lesson to me
(Bang! You're dead!)
