Verse 1: Bb Eb G Eb Early one morning with time to kill I borrowed Jeb's and sat on the hill rifle Bb Eb G Eb I saw a lone rider crossing the plain I drew a bead on to practice my aim him Cm F F Bb My brother's rifle went off in my a shot rang out across the land hand Eb G Bb Eb The horse he kept the rider was dead I hung my head I hung my head running That's it for the guitar. It just repeats the intro between verses, and repeats the last two bars of the verse at the end of verses 2-4. Verse 2. I set off running to wake from the dream My brother's rifle went into the stream I kept on running into the salt lands And that's where they found me, my head in my hands The sheriff he asked my why had I run And then it came to me just what I had done And all for no reason, just one piece of lead I hung my head, Ihung my head. Verse 3. Here in the courthouse the whole town is there I see the judge high up in his chair "Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind And we'll ask the jury what verdict they'll find" I said "I felt the power of death over life I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead" I hung my head, I hung my head. Verse 4. Early one morning with time to kill I see the gallows up on the hill And out in the distance, a trick of the brain I see a lone rider crossing the plain He's come to fetch me, to see what they done And we'll ride together til Kingdom come I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead I hung my head, I hung my head.
