  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
