Verse 1
(C major) Early one morning, with (F major) time to kill
I (A minor) borrowed Jebb's rifle, and (F major) sat on a hill
I (C major) saw a lone rider, (F major) crossing the plain
I (A minor) drew a bead on him, to (F major) practice my aim
(D minor) My brother's rifle, went (G major) off in my hand
A shot rang out, a (C major) cross the land
The (F major) horse, he kept running
The (A minor) rider was dead
I (C major) hung my head
I (F major) hung my head
(C major) (C major) (C major) (C major)

Verse 2
(C major) I set off running, to (F major) wake from the dream
(A minor) My brother's rifle, went (F major) into the sheen
(C major) I kept on running, in (F major) to the south lands
(A minor) That's where they found me,
my (F major) head in my hands
The (D minor) sheriff he asked me, (G major) why had I run
And then it come to me, just (C major) what I had done
And (F major) all for no reason, just (A minor) one piece of lead
I (C major) hung my head
I (F major) hung my head
(C major) (C major) (C major) (C major)
Verse 3
(C major) Here in the court house,
the (F major) whole town was there
(A minor) I see the judge, high (F major) up in the chair
Ex (C major) plain to the court room,
what (F major) went through your mind
And (A minor) we'll ask the jury, what (F major) verdict they find
(D minor) I felt the power, of (G major) death over life
I orphaned his children, I (C major) widowed his wife
I (F major) begged their forgignes, I (A minor) wish I was dead
I (C major) hung my head
I (F major) hung my head
I (C major) hung my head
I (F major) hung my head
(C major) (C major) (C major) (C major)
Verse 4
(C major) Early one morning, with (F major) time to kill
(A minor) I see the gallows, (F major) up on a hill
And (C major) out in the distance, a (F major) trick of the brain
I (A minor) see a lone rider, (F major) crossing the plain
And (D minor) he'd come to fetch me,
to (G major) see what they'd done
And we'll ride together, to (C major) kingdom come
I (F major) prayed for God's mercy,
´cause (A minor) soon I'd be dead
I (C major) hung my head
I (F major) hung my head
I (C major) hung my head
I (F major) hung my head
