CAPO: 4


Intro: G 

                               C 
They got the Younger brothers 
                           G 
They got plenty of others 

Fool enough to cower and crawl 
Em           D         C  ~ ~    G       C-G 
Shackled and chained behind high walls 


                                            C 
They say I've made more widows and orphans 
                               G 
Enough to fill twenty coffins 

They won't hear my side at all 
            Em       D     C  ~ ~    G      G-F 
Yet they'll lock me away behind high walls 



                           F-C 
If sixteen grains of morphine 
                             C-G 
Put just a wife to sleep, clean 
                                      F 
Then you know I would take it all 
                                  F-C 
But rotten is the state of Minnesota 
                                        C-G 
Sweating on a chain gang I rode her/rota 
                        D 
The hell, I cannot take that 


Instrumental: G   C   G   Em   D   C ~ ~ G   G-F 



                           F-C 
If sixteen grains of morphine 
                             C-G 
Put just a wife to sleep, clean 
                                       F 
Then you know I would shoot it all 
                                  F-C 
But rotten is the state of Minnesota 
                                        C-G 
Sweating on a chain gang I rode her/rota 
                        D       G 
The hell, I cannot take that 

                                      C 
Frank, they'll never catch us alive 
                              G 
Not with my will to survive 

We'll run until they stumble and fall 
        Em            D     C  ~ ~    G      C ~ ~ G  
I shall never spend a day behind high walls
