Send My Body Home

E
Well that judge he found me guilty 
of wrong doing
       A                      
And he sentenced me to hang in 
     E
mid-July
   E                               
He looked down at me and said your 
               C#7
life’s a ruin
F#                                
If I were you I'd break right down
     B7
 and cry
      E
But nobody seems to care that I 
ain't guilty
  A                             
I never did the things they said 
      E
I've done
      E                          
But I guess they're gonna have to 
          C#7
hang somebody
         F#              B7       
And it's lookin like I'm gonna be 
    E
the one


Chorus:
   A                      E
So send my body home on a freight 
train
          A                        
And don't worry none that I don't 
        E
go first class
A                      E         
Send my body home on a freight 
     C#7
train
   F#                         B7
So everyone can see me when I pass

workin woman
        A

The last thing that she said she was
              C#7
