I wasn't born in the morning, no
DEE7
I must have been born in the night
ADC#7F#m
I've done my load and I'll carry my load
AEAE
And all I own is my life
ADA
I wasn't born to be lucky,
DEE7
'cause luck had no future with me
ADC#7F#m
I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song
AEAE
and stand beneath the hanging tree
ADA
Bury me down by a river
DEE7
Let all the towns people see
ADC#7F#m
Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head
AEA
Just put me down and set me free
ADA
I wasn't born as a rich man, no
DEE7A rich man I never, I never could be
ADC#7F#m
I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song
AEAE
and stand beneath the hanging tree (Everybody sing now)
ADA
Bury me down by a river
DEE7
Let all the towns people see
ADC#7F#m
Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head
AEA
Just put me down and set me free
(I want to hear everybody sing)
ADA
Bury me down by a river
DEE7
Let all the towns people see
ADC#7F#m
Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head
AEADA
Just put me down and set me free (set me free)
