Hi All, another great song put up by someone where I've made some minor corrections. When you're feeling confident the lead slide guitar is not to hard to work out starting with Am and sus4 bending the second string up a note on the third fret to start. Have a go it's a great tune. (1)

^AmI was sittin' beside the ^Groad in Black Jack ^AmCounty. not ^Cknowing that that the Sheriff paid a ^Ebounty,^E7 for ^Ammen like me that d^Gidn't have a ^Fpenny to their ^Ename.^E7 So he ^Amlocked my leg to ^F35 pounds of ^GBlack Jack County ^AmChains.

(2)

^AmAnd all we had to ^Geat was bread and ^Amwater, and each ^Cday we built the road a mile and a ^Equar^E7ter, a ^AmBlack Snake Whip, would ^Gcut the back, of ^Fany man who com^Eplained,^E7 but we ^Amcouldn't fight back wearing ^F35 pounds of ^GBlack Jack County ^AmChains. (3) One night while the ^GSheriff was gently ^Amsleeping, we ^Call gathered round him slowly ^Ecreeping,^E7 ^AmHeaven help me to ^Gforget that ^Fnight in the cold cold ^Erain, ^E7 when we ^Ambeat him to death with ^F35 pounds of ^GBlack Jack County ^AmChains.

(Lead slide if you're feeling brave) Am G Am, C E E7, Am G F E E7, Am F G Am (4)

^Amnow the whip marks are all ^Ghealed and I'm ^Amthankful, there's ^Cnothing but the scar around my ^Eankle. ^E7 but ^Ammost of all I'm ^Gglad no man will ^Fbe a slave ^Eagain,^E7 to a Bla^Amck Snake Whip, and ^F35 pounds of ^GBlack Jack County ^AmChain. to a Bla^Amck Snake Whip, and ^F35 pounds of ^GBlack Jack County ^AmChain.
