Iâm a ^E man whoâs goinâ ^B to hell with heaven ^A âs blessing
The ^E judge said Iâm not ^B fit to live with ^A men
Theyâre ^E building me a ^B gallows in the cou ^A rtyard
To ^E make sure I donât ^B pass this way ^A again
My ^E first taste of ^B killinâ was at Vick ^A sburg
I ^E must have s ^B hot me a hundred ^A men
I ^E learned to make my ^B livinâ with a six ^A -gun
Iâm an ^E outlaw now but ^B I was a hero ^A then
Chorus:
^E Lord if I had ^B only known the m ^A isery
That ^E gloryâs somethinà ^B ¢ not worth killin ^A â for
I ^E wish now I had n ^B ever touched the ^A handle
Of a Hairtrigger ^B Colt .4 ^E 4
^E I was a ^B hunted despera ^A do
A ^E wanted man with a ^B price on my ^A head
I ^E thought that I could s ^B teal a taste of free ^A dom
I ^E got me a ^B hangmanâs noose in ^A stead
Repeat Chorus
^E Undertaker ^B write on my t ^A ombstone
A ^E killer finally ^B killed and nothinâ ^A more
I ^E wouldnât be here if it ^B hadnât been fo ^A r Providence
And a Hairtrigger ^B Colt .4 ^E 4
Repeat Chorus 2x
