Sting - I hung my head

^AEarly one morning, with ^F#mtime to kill ^AI borrowed Jeb's rifle, and ^F#msat on the hill ^AI saw a lone rider, c^F#mrossing the plane ^AI drew a beed on him, to ^F#mpractice my aim ^BmMy Brother's rifle went ^Eoff in my hand A sh^Eot rang out ac^Aross the land The ^Dhorse he kept running, the ^F#m7rider was dead ^AI hung my head, I ^F#mhung my head

^AI set off running, to ^F#mwake from the dream ^AMy brother's rifle, went ^F#minto the stream ^AI kept on running, in-^F#mto the salt lands ^AAnd that's where they found me, my ^F#mhead in my hands ^BmThe sheriff he asked me, w^Ehy had I run ^EThen it came to me, just ^Awhat I had done And ^Dall for no reason, just ^F#m7one piece of lead ^AI hung my head, I ^F#mhung my head

^AHere in the courthouse, the ^F#mwhole town is there ^AI see the judge, high ^F#mup in his chair ^A"Explain to the courtroom, ^F#mwhat went through your mind ^AAnd we'll ask the jury, what ^F#mverdict they find" I said &^Bmquot;I felt the power^E, of death over life I ^Eorphaned his children, I ^Awidowed his wife I ^Dbeg their forgiveness, I ^F#m7wish I was dead" ^AI hung my head, I ^F#mhung my head ^AI hung my head, I ^F#mhung my head

^AEarly one morning, with ^F#mtime to kill ^AI see the gallows, up ^F#mon the hill ^AAnd out in the distance, a ^F#mtrick of the brain ^AI see a lone rider, cros^F#msing the plain ^BmHe's come to fetch me, to ^Esee what they done ^EWe'll ride together, '^ATil kingdom come I ^Dpray for God's mercy, for ^F#m7soon I'll be dead ^AI hung my head, ^F#mI hung my head ^AI hung my head, ^F#mI hung my head ^AI hung my head, ^F#mI hung my head
