I Hung My Head (Cash Johnny)

		
Intro-- c, and f a few times  
 
[C] early one morning  
with [F] time to kill  
I [Am]borrowed Jeb's rifle  
And [F]sat on the hil  
I [c] saw a lone rider  
[F] crossing the plain  
I [Am] drew a bead on him  
To [F] practice my aim  
[Dm] my brothers rifle  
went [G] in my hand  
a shot rang out  
[C] across the land  
the [F] horse he kept running  
the [Am] rider was dead  
I [C]hung my head, I [F] hung my head  
 
[C] , [F] a few times  
 
[C] I set off running  
to [F]wake from the dream  
[Am] my brothers rifle  
went [F] into the stream  
[C] I kept on running  
[F]into the salt lands  
and [Am] that's where there found me  
my [F] head in my hands  
the [Dm] sheriff he asked me  
[G] why had I run  
then it came to me  
just [C] what I had done  
and [F] for all no reason  
just [Am] one piece of lead  
I [C]hung my head, I [F] hung my head  
 
[C], [F] a few times  
 
[C]Here in the courthouse  
the [F] whole town is there  
[Am] I see the judge  
high [F] up in his chair  
ex[C]plain to the courtroom  
what [F] went through your mind  
and [Am] we'll ask the jury  
what [F] verdict they find  
I said [Dm] I felt the power  
of [G] death over life  
I orphaned his children  
I [C] widowed his wife  
I [F] beg their forgivness  
I [Am] wish I was dead  
I [C]hung my head, I [F] hung my head  
 
[C] and [F] a few times  
 
[C] Early one morning  
with [F] time to kill  
[Am] I see the gallows  
[F] up on the hill  
and [C] out in the distance  
a [F] trick of the brain  
I [Am] see a lone rider  
[F] Crossing the plain  
[Dm] hes come to fetch me  
to [G] see what they done  
we'll ride together  
[C] til kingdom come  
I [F] prey for Gods mercy  
For [F] soon ill be dead  
I [C]hung my head, I [F] hung my head  
I [C]hung my head, I [F] hung my head  
 
[C] and [F] a few times and end on [C]
