I Hung My Head

G

[Verse]
G                  Em
Early one morning, with time to kill
   G                        Em
I borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on 
the hill
   G                 Em
I saw a lone rider, crossing the 
plane
    G                     Em
I drew a beed on him, to practice my
 aim
Am                  D
My Brother's rifle went off in my 
hand
   Am             G
A shot rang out across the land
     C                          G
The horse he kept running, the rider
 was dead

[Chorus]
   G               Em           
I hung my head, I hung my head, I 
   G
hung my head,

[Verse]
G                      Em
I set off running, to wake from this
 dream
G                    Em
My brother's rifle, went into the 
stream
G                    Em
I kept on running, into the salt 
lands
  G                             Em
That's where they found me, my head 
in my hands
Am                       D
The sheriff he asked me, why had I 
run
Am                    G
Then it came to me, just what I had 
done

And all for no reason, just one 
piece of lead

[Chorus]
   G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head

[Verse]
G                            Em
Here in the courthouse, the whole 
town is there
G                  Em
I see the judge, high up in his 
chair:
     G                      Em
"Explain to the courtroom, what went
 through your mind
      G                  Em
And we'll ask the jury, what verdict
 they find"
   Am                         D
I said "I felt the power, of death 
over life
               Am          
(The power to) orphaned his 
              D
children, widowed his wife
   C                     G
I ask no forgiveness, I wish I was 
dead"

[Chorus]
G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head
G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head

[Verse]
G                  Em
Early one morning, with time to kill
G                  Em
I see the gallows, up on the hill
G                        Em
Out in the distance, a trick of the 
brain
   G                  Em
I see a lone rider, crossing the 
plain
Am                         D
He's come to give me, to see what 
they done
Am                    D
We'll ride together, till kingdom 
come
  C                      G
I ask for no mercy, for soon I'll be
 dead

[Chorus]
   G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head
   G               Em
I hung my head, I hung my head
