[Verse]
        Fm                Eb
Well, I hope to tell you, Johnny
       Db             Eb
That I lay that rifle down
       Fm                     
Had to leave the noose and the 
 Eb
calaboose
      Db                 Eb      Fm
And a-headed for another town

[Verse]
                            Eb
Well, I've got your name in San Jose
         Db                 Eb
And your picture's there to see
            Fm              Eb
And they're shootin' men in Texas
       Db                   Eb
Just because they look like me

[Chorus]
    Ab              Db            
And we will run the ridges of our 
Eb               Ab
green land Tennessee
And we will hide for forty years, if
 Db                     Eb
 that's what's meant to be

[Verse]
                       Eb
Maybe we could try for Mexico
    Db               Eb
And cross the desert sand
            Fm                 
But they're guardin' 'cross the 
 Eb
border
         Db           Eb
'Case we swim the Rio Grande

[Chorus]
    Ab      Eb      Db            
And we will run the ridges of our 
Eb               Ab
green land Tennessee
And we will hide for forty years, if
 Db                     Eb
 that's what's meant to be

Well, they'll rope and tie you,

Johnny

And they'll throw you to the ground
            Fm            Eb
And they'll let you hang a week or 
two
           Db            Eb
'Fore they cut your body down

[Chorus]
    Ab              Db            
And we will run the ridges of our 
Eb               Ab
green land Tennessee
And if we will hide for forty years,
    Db                     Eb
 if that's what's meant to be
