A        D           A
I wasn't born in the morning, no
                 D           E    E7
I must have been born in the night
A            D             C#7      F#m
I've done my load and I'll carry my load
A         E         A    E
And all I own is my life

A        D          A
I wasn't born to be lucky,
                   D           E  E7
'cause luck had no future with me
A            D              C#7                 F#m
I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song 
A           E                 A    E  
and stand beneath the hanging tree

A       D         A
Bury me down by a river
            D            E   E7
Let all the towns people see
      A       D            C#7         F#m
Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head 
A           E               A
Just put me down and set me free

A        D         A
I wasn't born as a rich man, no
             D                    E  E7
A rich man I never, I never could be
A            D              C#7                 F#m
I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song 
A           E                 A    E  
and stand beneath the hanging tree   (Everybody sing now)

A       D         A
Bury me down by a river
            D            E   E7
Let all the towns people see
      A       D            C#7         F#m
Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head 
A           E               A
Just put me down and set me free

Let all the towns people see
      A       D            C#7         F#m
Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head

Just put me down and set me free (set me free)
