Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
No capo, standard tuning. Grab a banjo player for some added effect.
[Verse 1]
Gm
In the back of the heart of blue earth county
Eb Bb
Many, many years ago
F
I stood in the cold next to my mother
Eb Gm
And 38 men blindfold
Gm Eb Bb
As the natives took their place, singing their death song
F
The prison Chaplain called their names
Eb Gm
But he got one of their names wrong
[Chorus]
Eb
I----I've been
Bb
Fi----ighting
F
With this notion that the world does
Gm
A good man well
Eb
I see it all around me
Bb
A man does hateful things
F
And he still walking around, you see
Gm
While the good one's gone
[Verse 2]
Gm
Some say that there was no mistake
Eb Bb
Some say they wanted that man to be hung
F
For falling in love with a white woman
Eb Gm
And caring for her infant son
Gm
When he was first captured, she cried;
Eb Bb
"Don't take him, you don't know!"
F
If not for him, my bones will be bleach'en on the prairie
Eb Bb
My children, with little crow
[Chorus]
Eb
I----I've been
Bb
Fi----ighting
F
With this notion that the world does
Gm
A good man well
Eb
I see it all around me
Bb
A man does hateful things
F
And he still walking around, you see
Gm
While the good one's gone
[Verse 3]
Gm
As the moment came and the ropes all placed
Eb Bb
And the drums they quieted the crowd
F
The men wailed and danced on a trap door gallows
Eb Gm
And yelled each other's names so loud
Gm
And when they heard their name they yelled;
Eb Bb
"I'm here, I'm here!"
F
And they yelled out their fellow men's name
Gm
For the heavens to hear
[Bridge]
Eb Bb
And the clergyman spoke on
Eb Bb Gm
About Christ and how he di---ied
F
And the axe was lifted hi---igh
[Instrumental]
Gm Eb Bb
F Eb Gm
2x
[Chorus]
Eb
I----I've been
Bb
Fi----ighting
F
With this notion that the world does
Gm
A good man well
Eb
I see it all around me
Bb
A man does hateful things
F
And he still walking around, you see
Gm
While the good one's gone
