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

Db
This little thing is shorter
than the rest of me.
