[Verse]
Bm E
I woke up in the morning about half past nine
A F#m
The hacks and the buggies standing in line
Bm E
Gents and gamblers standing around
A F#m D Bm E
Taking little Sadie to her burying ground
Bm E
I began to think of what a deed I'd done
A F#m
I grabbed my hat and away I run
Bm E
Made a good run, just a little too slow
A F#m D
They overtook me in jericho
Bm E G A
[Verse]
Bm E
Standing on the corner a reading a bill
A F#m
And up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
Bm E
He said miss is your name Brown
A F#m D Bm E
Remember the night you shot Sadie down
Bm E
I said oh yes sir but my name is Lee
A F#m
And I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
Bm E
First degree and second degree
A F#m D Bm E
Got any papers will you read 'em to me
Bm E
So they took me downtown and dressed me in black
A F#m
Put me on a train and started me back
Bm E
All the way back to the Thomasville jail
A F#m D Bm E Bm E
Had no money for to go my bail
[Solo]
(i'm not sure in this part)
Bm E G E A
Bm A F#m D
Bm A F#m D
Bm E
[Verse]
Bm E
The judge and the jury they took their stand
A F#m
The judge had the papers in his right hand
Bm E
Forty one days, forty one nights
A F#m D Bm E
Forty one years to wear the ball and stripes
[Outro]
Bm E
Went out one night to make a little round
A F#m
I met little Sadie and I shot her down
Bm E
Went back home, jumped into bed
A D Bm A F#m D
44 pistol under my head
Bm A F#m D
D E Bm
