Tuning:
E A D G B E
Capo:
5th fret
[Intro]
G Em C/G G
G Cadd9 Em D G
[Verse]
G Em C/G G
I am far away from home - With neither faaaaaaamily nor friends
G Cadd9 Em D G
I never meant to stay so long - In the Missouri borderlands
G Em C/G G
Three years ago I held a job - Saw the woooooorld from my pony's sway G Cadd9 Em D G
Riding drag on a dusty mount - I knew I'd worked when I drew my pay
G Em C/G
But times got hard, Christ times got mean - And I fell iiiiiiiin with
G
desperate men
G Cadd9 Em D G
And one night the worst of them - Laid out what was an awful plan
[Break]
G Em C/G G
G Cadd9 Em D G
[Verse]
G Em C/G G
I did not like such wicked talk - Of Murder aaaaaaaand bold robbery
G Cadd9 Em D G
I told those men I would walk - And they all aimed their guns at me
G Em C/G G
Their prisoner I helped rob a bank - And much gooooold we did obtain
G Cadd9 Em D G
They shot a boy just for the sport - I stood and watched his young life wane
G Em C/G
Such dreadful sounds I'd never heard - His mother’s waaaaailing filled
G
the room
G Cadd9 Em D G
She looked at me and screamed these words - Devil take you to your doom
[Break]
G Em C/G G
G Cadd9 Em D G
[Verse]
G Em C/G G
I turned to face that murderous crew - Shot ‘em dead. I killed all four
G Cadd9 Em D G
And the only thing I rue - I Had not thought of that before
G Em C/G G
The posse found me outside of town - As I was kneeeling there to pray
G Cadd9 Em D G
From my gallows high I'm to lay down - In a dark Missouri grave
G Em C/G G
Please hide the rope stains around my neck - When my mooother sees me dead
? G Cadd9 Em D G
Please don’t let my brothers take - The fateful path I chose to tread
Cadd9 G Em C/G G
'Cause I'm far away from home - With neither faaaaamily nor friends
G Cadd9 Em D G
I never meant to stay so long - In the Missouri borderlands
G Cadd9 Em D G
And now I'll spend eternity - In the Missouri borderlands
