Dont Look Back
Intro- G
GGadd9GD
Boot leather on a barroom floor, fightin' over a dance hall girl
GCadd9GD
He pulled a knife, I pulled a gun, and I sent him home to glory
GCadd9
The sheriff said son, better go with me
GD
Give me your gun and come peacefully
GCadd9D
I can drop you right here, or you can tell the court your story
Chorus:
GD
Hang me high, hang me low
C
They're gonna hang me in the morning
GDC
Stay away from Jericho, all you rounders,
(No chord) G
I give you fair warning
GCadd9
Entered my plea, called it self defense,
GD
a sober judge sittin' on the bench
GCadd9GD
And i stared into 24 eyes of a hard-nosed Jericho jury
GCadd9
They called it murder in the first degree,
GD
The judge said, son, stand and look at me
GCadd9D
Hang him - and may the lord have mercy
Chorus
GCadd9
Thirteen steps to the scaffold high,
GD
the whole town's out just to watch me die
GCadd9D
And not one to shed a tear of mourning
GCadd9
Please would you honor my last request,
GD
when they lay me down to rest
GCadd9D
Let the epitaph on my tombstone read this warning
Chorus2:
GD
Hang me high, hang me low
C
They went to hang me one bright morning morning
GDC
Stay away from Jericho, all you rounders,
(No chord) G
I give you fair warning
Chorus
Hang me high...
