Sting - I hung my head

^AEarly one morning, with ^Dtime to kill ^F#mI borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sa^Dt on the hill ^AI saw a lone rider, c^Drossing the plane ^F#mI drew a beed on him, to p^Dractice my aim ^BmMy Brother's rifle went ^G#dimoff in my hand A sh^E7ot rang out acr^Aoss the land The ^Dhorse he kept running, the ^F#mrider was dead ^AI hung my head, I ^Dhung my head

^AI set off running, to ^Dwake from the dream ^F#mMy brother's rifle, went in^Dto the stream ^AI kept on running, in-^Dto the salt lands ^F#mAnd that's where they found me, my he^Dad in my hands ^BmThe sheriff he asked me, w^G#dimhy had I run ^E7Then it came to me, just w^Ahat I had done And ^Dall for no reason, just ^F#mone piece of lead ^AI hung my head, I ^Dhung my head
