Am E Am Dm Am
I left my gal sad and lonely, left her standing in the rain
Dm Am C E
I went down to the railroad, I caught myself a midnight train
Am E Am Dm Am
I beat my way into Texas, landed in a gambling town
Dm Am C E Am
I got myself into trouble, I shot the county sheriff down, oh lord
C E Am
I shot the county sheriff down

verse 2:
Am E Am Dm Am
They put the handcuffs on me, tied me with a ball and chain
Dm Am C E
They took me to El Paso, they tied me with a ball and chain
Am E Am Dm Am
These prisonbars all around me, no-one to call my bail
Dm Am C E Am
My heart's sad and so lonely, I want to get out of this jail, Oh lord
C E Am
I want to get out of this jail
verse 3:
Am E Am Dm Am
The jury read the verdict, murder in the first degree
Dm Am C E
The judge said, take this prisoner to the penitentiary
Am E Am Dm Am
They put the handcuffs on me, tied me with a ball and chain
Dm Am C E Am
I'd left my home forever and I'll never see my gal again, oh lord
C E Am
I'll never see my gal again
and thats all
-Bert
