I Hung My Head Sting
[Bb] Early one morning,[Gm] with [Eb]time to kill
[Cm] I [Gm]borrowed Jeb's rifle,[Bb] and [Eb]sat on the hill
I [Bb]saw a lone rider,[Gm] C[Eb]rossing the plain
[Cm] I [Gm]drew a bead on him,[Bb] To [Eb]practice my aim
[Cm] My brother's rifle,[Cm/Bb] Went [F]off in my hand
[F/G] A s[F]hot rang out[F/A] [F/F] ac[Bb]ross the land
The [Eb]horse he kept running,[Cm] the [Gm]rider was dead
[Eb] I [Bb]hung my head,[Gm] I [Eb]hung my head [Cm]
VERSE:
[Bb] I set off running,[Gm] to [Eb]wake from the dream [Cm]
[Gm] My brother's rifle, [Bb] went i[Eb]nto the stream
[Bb] I kept on running,[Gm] in-[Eb]to the salt lands
[Cm] And [Gm]that's where they found me,[Bb] my [Eb]head in my hands
[Cm] The sheriff he asked me,[Cm/Bb] [F]Why had I run [F/G]
[F]Then it came to me[F/A], [F/F] just [Bb]what I had done
And [Eb]all for no reason, [Cm]just [Gm]one piece of lead
[Eb] I [Bb]hung my head,[Gm] I h[Eb]ung my head
BREAK: Bb Gm Eb Cm Gm Bb Eb 2x
VERSE:
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 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"
[Eb] I[Bb] hung my head[Gm], I [Eb]hung my head
[Cm] I [Bb]hung my head,[Gm] I h[Eb]ung my head [Cm]
BREAK: Bb Gm Eb Cm Gm Bb Eb 2x
VERSE:
[Bb] Early one morning,[Gm] with [Eb]time to kill
[Cm] I [Gm]see the gallows,[Bb] [Eb]up on the hill
And [Bb]out in the distance[Gm], a [Eb]trick of the brain
[Cm] I [Gm]see a lone rider,[Bb] [Eb]crossing the plain
[Cm] He's come to fetch me,[Cm/Bb] to [F]see what they done [F/G]
[F]We'll ride together,[F/A] ' [F/F] Til [Bb]kingdom come
I [Eb]pray for God's mercy,[Cm] for [Gm]soon I'll be dead
[Eb] I [Bb]hung my head,[Gm] I [Eb]hung my head [Cm]
