Key: C minor

Verse 1
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
I knew a man from Burlington,
Am Am 
 
contented with his life
G G 
 
He never stopped to ar gue,
Am Am 
 
nor would he start a fight
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
Rejected by his brother and his family
G G 
 
With age -suspecting treason
Am Am 
 
in the first degree
G G 
 
Once upon a Sunday
Am Am 
 
he stood against their view
G G 
 
And he told the congregation
Am Am 
 
there was nothin' he would do
G G 
 
Defendin' cheap convictions,
Am Am 
 
you'd call a cause for war
G G 
 
I beg of you, my brothers,
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
not to kill no more
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Oh, how the jackals gather
Am Am 
 
when famine starts to land
G G 
 
Oh, how the tongues will flatter
Am Am 
 
in the heads of every man
G G 
 
They burned and broke down all his crops,
Am Am 
 
his cattle they did slay
And they hung him from
G G 
 
a white oak tree
Am Am 
 
for the birds to pray
G G 
 
Now early the next morning
Am Am 
 
I went to cut him down
G G 
 
And I found him painted colors
Am Am 
 
as if a circus clown
G G 
 
He's buried in the mountain,
Am Am 
 
a hidden grave I've made
G G 
 
And I don't speak to strangers,
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
I turn the other way
Am Am 
 
You
