[D][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]I wasn't b[C]orn
[G]in the morning, no
I must have been [C]born [D]in the night
[G]I've done my [C]load and
[B]I'll carry my [Em]load[C][G]
And all I [D]own is my [G]life[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]I wasn't b[C]orn to b[G]e lucky,
Cause luck had no [C]future [D]with me
[G]I've done my [C]wrong and I'll [B]sing,
sing, [Em]sing my song
[G]and stand benea[D]th the han[G]ging tre[D]e

[Verse 3]
[G]Bury me [C]down by the [G]river
Let all the town[C]s people s[D]ee

[G]Just put me dow[D]n and set me [G]free

[Verse 4]
[G]I wasn't b[C]orn as a[G] rich man, no
A rich man I [C]never, I [D]never could be
[G]I've done my [C]wrong [B]and I'll sing,
[Em]sing, sing my song
An[G]d stand ben[D]eath the hanging
[G]tre[D]e (Everybody sing now[G])

[Verse 5]
Bury me [C]down by the [G]river, [C]lord no
[G]Let all the [C]towns people [D]see, see
Their [G]enemy's [C]dead, let me lay,
[B]lay, lay[Em] my head
[G]Just put me dow[D]n and set[G] me free
(I want [D]to hear everybody [G]sing)

[Verse 6]
Bury [C]me down [G]by the river
Let all the towns, let all
[C]the towns [D]people see
Their [G]enemy's [C]dead, let me [B]lay, let met lay,
[Em]let me lay my head a[G]long
Just put me [D]down and set
me [C]free (set me free)
[G]
