Tonart: E major
Verse 1
A
Early one evening I was rollin' around
And I was feelin' kinda mean,
E
I hit a deck of the town
A
Strolled along, home and I went to bed
E
I laid my pistol un der my head
A
D
He strolled on home, I took my time
thought I'd sleep some more
E
A
I laid his pistol up under his neck.
I'd keep it down.
Early in the morning on the break of day,
E
I figured it was time to make my getaway.
A
I was stepping right along,
but I was stepping too slow.
Got surrounded by the sheriff
E
A
down in Mexico.
D
I right along, but was off the hook.
A
I was stepping too slow.
E
A
Got surrounded by the sheriff in Mexico.
I didn't even get a chance
to see the country.
When I was arrested, didn't have a dime.
The sheriff said, son,
E
you're riding free this time.
you won't need a cent,
because the great state of Texas
E
is going to pay your rent.
A
D
Tell us where you're going.
Thank you, Mr. J.
You know it's not a loan.
E
Because the great state of Texas
A
is going to pay your rent.
I might agree with you.
Well, I didn't have a key
D
A
and I didn't have a file,
D
E
A
naturally I stayed around until my trial.
The judge was a old man, 93,
E
and I didn't like the way the jury looked
A
D
The judge was an old man,
A
too old, 93, entirely too old.
E
A
I didn't like the way the jury looked at me,
I think they were suspicious.
The judge and the jury didn't agree,
E
A
they all said murder in the first degree.
The judge said...
Dm
I don't know whether to
hang you or not,
D
but this here killing of deputy sheriffs
E
has just naturally got to stop.
A
A
You got a point there, Judge.
A
It was a most unsatisfactory trial.
They gave you 91 years
E
A
on the hard rock pile.
99 on the hard rock ground.
E
A
D
A
All I ever did was shoot a deputy. 99!
E
And all he ever did was shoot
A
D
the deputy down.
A
D
A
This little thing is shorter
than the rest of me.
