E A E B E B E A E A B7 E
[Chorus]
E A E
On the Grand Canyon Line I was ridin', ridin' along!
B7
On the Grand Canyon Line I was singin' those songs
E A
On the Grand Canyon Line I was ridin' along
E A B7 E
Couldn't go back to Texas, I know I done wrong
[Verse 1]
E A7 E
I passed the state bank and no money I had
E B7
Wasn't that I really meant to be bad
E7 A A7 E
I robbed the state bank with a tremblin' hand
E A B7 E
With the pistol and the money, through the big door I ran
[Chorus]
E A E
On the Grand Canyon Line I was ridin', ridin' along!
B7
On the Grand Canyon Line I was singin' those songs
E A
On the Grand Canyon Line I was ridin' along
E A B7 E
Couldn't go back to Texas, I know I done wrong
[Verse 2]
E A E
Sitin' all alone in a boxcar's four walls
E B7
Just cause of a break in the rich man's laws
E A E7
I thought about my sweetheart and I started to cry
A B7 E
When I get caught by my neck I will die
[Bridge]
E7 A7 E7
The boxcar did open and a posse walked in
E7 B7
The sheriff said, "Now, grab him, boys, I think that's him!"
E A E7
They took me to a jailhouse and now I must die
A7 B7 E
Five hours to live, how the time flies
[Chorus]
E A E
On the Grand Canyon Line I was ridin', ridin' along!
B7
On the Grand Canyon Line I was singin' those songs
E A
On the Grand Canyon Line I was ridin' along
E A B7 E
Couldn't go back to Texas, I know I done wrong
