Verse 1
(G major) On the Grand Canyon line,
I was (C major) riding along. (G major)
On the Grand Canyon line,
I was singing no song. (D major)
On the (G major) Grand Canyon line,
I was (C major) riding along. (G major)
Couldn't go (C major) back to Texas, (G major)
cause I know I'd done wrong.
I passed by the bank
and no (C major) money I had. (G major)
It wasn't that I really had
meant to be bad. (D major)
But I (G major) robbed the state bank
with a (C major) trembling hand. (G major)
With my (C major) pistol and the (G major) money
through the big door I ran.
On the Grand Canyon line
I was (C major) riding along. (G major)
On the Grand Canyon line,
I was singing no song (D major)
On the (G major) Grand Canyon line,
I was (C major) riding along (G major)
Couldn't (C major) go back to Texas,
(G major) cause I know I'd done wrong
Sitting alone in a box
(C major) car's four (G major) walls
Because of a break in the rich man's (D major) laws
I (G major) thought of my sweetheart, I began (C major) to cry
(G major) When (C major) I am (D major) caught (G major) by my neck I will die
On the Grand Canyon line
I was (C major) ridin' along
(G major) On the Grand Canyon line
I was singin' no song
(D major) On the (G major) Grand Canyon line
I was (C major) ridin' along
(G major) Couldn't (C major) go back to Texas
cause (D major) I (G major) know I done wrong
The boxcar door opened
an (D major) d the (C major) posse walked (G major) in
The sheriff said, grab him boys,
I think that is him
(D major) They (G major) took me to the jailhouse
and (C major) now I must (G major) die
Five (C major) hours to live, (G major) how the time does fly
On the Grand Canyon line
I was (C major) riding along
(G major) On the Grand Canyon line
I was singing no song
(D major) On the (G major) Grand Canyon line
I was (C major) riding along
(G major) Couldn't (C major) go back to Texas,
cause (G major) I know I'd done wrong
