John Wesley Harding
Bb C F
Was a friend to the poor,
Gm Bb C
He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand.
F
All along this countryside,
Bb C F
He opened a many a door,
But he was never known
Bb C7 F
To hurt an honest man.
F Bb
'Twas down in Chaynee County,
C F
A time they talk about,
With his lady by his side
Gm Bb C
He took a stand.
F
And soon the situation there
Bb C F
Was all but straightened out,
For he was always known
Bb C7 F
To lend a helping hand.
F
All across the telegraph
Bb C F
His name it did resound,
But no charge held against him
Gm Bb C
Could they prove.
F
And there was no man around
Bb C F
Who could track or chain him down,
He was never known
Bb C7 F
To make a foolish move.
