Текст песни Sting - I Hung My Head

tabbed by: EmeraldEyzs

you'll have to listen to get that picking down

             2x

  Early one morning,  with time to kill
  I  borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill
  I saw a lone rider,   Crossing the plain
  I drew a bead on him,  To practice my aim
  My brother's rifle,  Went off in my hand
  A shot rang out        across the land
  The horse he kept running, the rider was dead 
  I hung my head,  I hung my head

  I set off running,  to wake from the dream
  My brother's rifle,  went into the stream
  I kept on running, in-to the salt lands
  And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
  The sheriff he asked me,      Why had I run
  Then it came to me,      just what I had done
  And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
  I hung my head, I hung my head

BREAK:              2x

  Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
  I see the judge, High up in his chair
 "Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind
  And we'll ask the jury, what verdict they find"
  I said "I felt the power, of death over life
  I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
  I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
  I hung my head, I hung my head
  I hung my head, I hung my head

BREAK:               2x

  Early one morning,  with time to kill
  I see the gallows,   up on the hill
  And out in the distance,  a trick of the brain
  I see a lone rider,   crossing the plain
  He's come to fetch me,   to see what they done
  We'll ride together, '     Til kingdom come
  I pray for God's mercy,  for soon I'll be dead
  I hung my head,  I hung my head
  I hung my head, I hung my head
  I hung my head, I hung my head
  I hung my head, I hung my head
  I hung my head, I hung my head
