Capo di fret ke-1

[Intro]
A D F#m D

[Verse 1]
A                                     D
Early one morning, with time to kill
F#m                                      D
I borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill
A                            D
I saw a lone rider, crossing the plane
F#m                                D
I drew a beed on him, to practice my aim
Bm                                G#dim
My Brother's rifle went off in my hand
     E7                    A
A shot rang out across the land
       D                                         F#m
The horse he kept running, the rider was dead
A                           D
I hung my head, I hung my head

[Verse 2]
A                              D
I set off running, to wake from the dream
F#m                               D
My brother's rifle, went into the stream
A                              D
I kept on running, in-to the salt lands
F#m                                                    D
And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
Bm                                    G#dim
The sheriff he asked me, why had I run
E7                                    A
Then it came to me, just what I had done
       D                               F#m
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
A                            D
I hung my head, I hung my head

[Break]
A D F#m D

[Verse 3]
A                                          D
Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
F#m                           D
I see the judge, high up in his chair
A                                                 D
"Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind
F#m                                        D
And we'll ask the jury, what verdict they find"
           Bm                        G#dim
I said "I felt the power, of death over life
    E7                                  A
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
    D                                 F#m
I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
A                           D
I hung my head, I hung my head
A                           D
I hung my head, I hung my head

[Break]
A D F#m7 D

[Verse 4]
A                                     D
Early one morning, with time to kill
F#m                           D
I see the gallows, up on the hill
A                                       D
And out in the distance, a trick of the brain
F#m                              D
I see a lone rider, crossing the plain
Bm                                     G#dim
He's come to fetch me, to see what they done
E7                            A
We'll ride together, 'Til kingdom come
    D                                     F#m
I pray for God's mercy, for soon I'll be dead
A                        D
I hung my head, I hung my head
A                        D
I hung my head, I hung my head
A                        D
I hung my head, I hung my head
