Verse 1:
     C        E7
Well, marry me
    Am           F
To a rope and a tree
C             E7                       C
What that ol' judge called first degree
            C            E7
And all the folks around town
        Am
Swore to lay me
      F
In the ground
C                G                     C  F  G  C
They found out I put that poor boy down

Verse 2:
        C
You see I
            E7
Did not much care
       Am
For the way
                 F
That he'd sit and glare
     C
So I closed
             G
His eyes for good

With a bar-room chair

Past Appalachian stones
C                G                    C
Far beneath that cold ground all alone
                       E7
Oh but if you're asking me
Am                     F
Where I would rather be

It was worth it
            G
To see that boy
                  C
Cut from the knees
