Intro G
Primeira Parte
Em D
Looked like a hundred guns held on me
Am C Em
Hunkered by the shed of Detroit General & Company
D C
Calling, boy come out, we have you jailed
Em D
Beside the buck-shot door, I stood still
Am C Em
Wondering how the hell the bastards found me in those hills
D C
And clinging to a letter that I wish I'd mailed
Refrão
Em D
Go rest easy, Madeline
Dm Am C Em
I'm bringing down the bank across this flooded county line
D C
And when I get home, we'll have a grand old time
Em D
But don't you shed no tears or be surprised
Am G C Em
If you get the word that your wild man has up and died
D C
Just set me up a stone on that high hillside
Segunda Parte
Em D
Now in the pouring snow, sad, but swift
Am
I headed down the highway
C Em
Hoping that the burden of my blues would lift
D C
And praying that the whiskey would keep me brave
Em D
Oh, but I got caught in the cold
Am G C Em
Looking like a hobo without no mercy from the road
D C
And feeling like a dead man without a grave
Refrão
Em D
Go rest easy, Madeline
Dm Am C Em
I'm bringing down the bank across this flooded county line
D C
And when I get home, we'll have a grand old time
Em D
But don't you shed no tears or be surprised
Am G C Em
If you get the word that your wild man has up and died
D C
Just set me up a stone on that high hillside
C Em
Oh my, oh my
( Em D Am C )
( Em D C )
Terceira Parte
Em D
Bloodied-up and chained, my legs pinned down
Am C Em
I woke to find my fate in the hands of four men gathered 'round
D C
And cursing for the bag they knew I'd hid
Em D
And the more they stomped and moaned, the more I prayed
Am C Em
Feeling every spark flying off of that file and their rusted blade
D C
Said, better think it through, this is your last chance, kid
Refrão
Em D
Go rest easy, Madeline
Dm Am C Em
I'm bringing down the bank across this flooded county line
D C
And when I get home, we'll have a grand old time
Em D
But don't you shed no tears or be surprised
Am G C Em
If you get the word that your wild man has up and died
D C
Just set me up a stone on that high hillside
