A                          E           A  
They had a warrant out for me all over country  
                                     E   
And I was trying to beat two raps in Idaho,  
      A                                   D  
I was breaking into a school house sunday morning without warning   
A                      E             A 
when I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below  
A                        E               A                                       
His steel grey eyes were blazing when he saw me  
                                      E 
His hand was on his gun when he rode up  
   A                                     D 
He said you killed that woman I know you shot her why'd you do it?  
A                 E          A 
I'm taking you to Austin and I'm gonna lock you up   
A                        E                 A 
Well he tied me with the plowline the next morning   
                                     E 
And he had me deep in Texas the next day  
A                                 D     
A crazy screaming lynchmob waited in streets of Austin  
A                    E                A 
But he put me in the jailhouse and he threw the key away  
A               E                   A  
A jury found me guilty three months later   
                                       E  
Twelve evil men with murder in their eyes  
A                                  D 
They even took me out and said now show us where you killed her  
A                          E            A            
And that wicked judge said now I hereby sentence you to die  
                                                                           E 
But here I am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailor handed me a file  
A                                       D                
Now all I want between me and there are alot of friendly people   
A                       E                  A   
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
