Dont Look Back
Intro- G
[G]Boot leather on a [Gadd9]barroom floor, [G]fightin' over a [D]dance hall girl
[G]He pulled a knife, [Cadd9]I pulled a gun, and [G]I sent him home t[D]o glory
[G]The sheriff said son, bet[Cadd9]ter go with me
[G]Give me your gun and come[D] peacefully
I can [G]drop you right here, or you[Cadd9] can tell the court your[D] story
Chorus:
[G]Hang me high, [D]hang me low
They're gonna [C]hang me in the morning
[G]Stay away from [D]Jericho, all you [C]rounders,
(No chord) G
I give you fair warning
[G]Entered my plea, called [Cadd9]it self defense,
a [G]sober judge [D]sittin' on the bench
And i [G]stared into 24[Cadd9] eyes of a [G]hard-nosed Jericho [D]jury
[G]They called it murder in [Cadd9]the first degree,
The [G]judge said, son, stand [D]and look at me
[G]Hang him - and[Cadd9] may the lord have [D]mercy
Chorus
[G]Thirteen steps to th[Cadd9]e scaffold high,
the [G]whole town's out just to [D]watch me die
And not [G]one to s[Cadd9]hed a tear of [D]mourning
[G]Please would you honor my [Cadd9]last request,
[G]when they lay me [D]down to rest
Let the [G]epitaph on my [Cadd9]tombstone read this [D]warning
Chorus2:
[G]Hang me high, [D]hang me low
They went to h[C]ang me one bright morning morning
[G]Stay away from [D]Jericho, all you [C]rounders,
(No chord) G
I give you fair warning
Chorus
Hang me high...
