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
