GEarly one morning with Ctime to kill I Emborrowed a rifle and Csat on a hill I Gsaw a lone rider Ccrossing the plain I Emdrew a bead on him to Cpractice my aim
AmMy brother's rifle went Doff in my hand A Dshot rang out aGcross the land The Chorse, it kept running the Emrider was dead G C | Em | C | I hung my head, I hung my head
GI set off running to Cwake from my dream EmMy brother's rifle went Cinto the stream GI kept on running inCto the south lands EmThat's where they found me, my Chead in my hands
The Amsheriff he asked me Dwhy had I run And Dthen it came to me just Gwhat I had done And Call for no reason just Emone piece of lead G C | Em | C | I hung my head, I hung my head

GHere in the court house the Cwhole town was there EmI see the judge high Cup in his chair &quGot;Explain to the court room Cwhat went through your mind And Emwe'll ask the jury what Cverdict they find"
AmI felt the power Dof death and life I Dorphaned his children, I Gwidowed his wife I Cbeg their forgiveness, I Emwish I were dead G C | Em | C | I hung my head, I hung my head

GEarly one morning with Ctime to kill EmI see the gallows high Cup on a hill And Gout in the distance, a Ctrick of the brain I Emsee a lone rider Ccrossing the plain
AmHe's come to fetch me to Dsee what they've done And Dwe'll ride together Gto kingdom come I Cprayed for god's mercy for Emsoon I'll be dead I Ghung my head, C I Emhung my head C G C | Em | C | I hung my head
