Key: Bb minor•
Verse 1
Ab
Bbm
but never half so well
As I remember bad times,
Ab
Bbm
the dates on which they fell
Ebm
Bbm
I stole my brother's saddle,
Ebm
Bbm
I stole my father's mare
Ebm
Bbm
Swore I would return them
Ab
Bbm
to pay the reaper's share
Ab
Bbm
Pay the reaper's share,
pay the reaper's share
Swore I would return them
Ab
Bbm
to pay the reaper's share
My name is Morgan Montague,
Ab
Bbm
I sprang from foreign sea
Ab
Bbm
as lives away men bleed
Bbm
Ebm
Bbm
as I saw it to be done
Maybe some do not agree,
who's askin' anyone?
Ab
Bbm
Askin' anyone?
Ab
Bbm
Askin' any one?
Maybe some do not agree,
Ab
Bbm
who's askin' anyone?
When at death's door
But kept my brother's saddle
Ab
Bbm
until it came his turn
Ebm
Bbm
To face his angry maker
Ebm
Bbm
that day came so did I
Ebm
Bbm
To drop his saddle by his bed
and let that poor man die
Ab
Bbm
Let that poor man die,
Ab
Bbm
let that poor man die
Drop his saddle by his bed
and let that poor man die
My name is Morgan Montague
Ab
Bbm
Moore, I will not say
Circumstance nor birthplace
Ab
Bbm
do I care to give away
Ebm
Bbm
I do not, since I dare not,
Ebm
Bbm
otherwise I would
My name is Morgan Montague,
Ab
Bbm
you're standing where I stood
Ab
Bbm
Standing where I stood,
Ab
Bbm
you're standing where I stood
You stand where I was standing
Ab
Bbm
when I heard the fatal word
Condemned to execution
Bbm
Ebm
Bbm
If I had done the dreadful deed
Ebm
Bbm
I would not flinch to die
Ebm
Bbm
I'd have strung my own self up
Bbm
Ab
know the reason why,
Bbm
Ab
Bbm
know the reason why
I'd have strung my own self up,
Ab
Bbm
or known the reason why
But I'm not allowed to rest
Ab
Bbm
while you walk free and tall
With family blood upon your hands,
Ab
Bbm
whatever may befall
Ebm
Bbm
My name is Morgan Montague,
Ebm
Bbm
my duty's call is clear
Ebm
Bbm
Before the frost is on my grave,
Ab
Bbm
you'll lie beside me here
Bbm
Ab
Bbm
love, lie beside me here
Before the frost is on my grave,
Ab
Bbm
you'll lie beside me here
Here lies Morgan Montague,
Ab
Bbm
he did not learn to trust
He was once a man like you,
Ab
Bbm
but now he's only dust
This is what I told them,
Ebm
Bbm
should be my epitaph
Ebm
Bbm
They wrote, here lies Montague,
Ab
Bbm
God got the final laugh
Ab
Bbm
Got the final laugh,
Ab
Bbm
God got the final laugh
They wrote, here lies Montague,
Ab
Bbm
God got the final laugh
You
