Little Sadie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm][C][Dm][C][Am]
[Dm]Went out last night to take a little round,
I [C]met a little Sadie and I blowed her [Am]down,
Bummed a ride home, got in to bed,
44 smokeless under my [Dm]head
[C][Am][C][Am][Dm]

[Verse 2]
I began to think what the deed I'd done,
[C]grabbed my hat and away'd I [Am]run,
Made a good run just a little too slow,
(they) overtook me in [Dm]Jericho
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
Standin' on the corner, ringin' the bell,
[C]up walks the sheriff from Thomas[Am]ville
Says "young [C]man is [Am]your name Brown? 'Member that
night you shot [Dm]Sadie down?"
[C][Am][C][Am]
[C][Dm]

[Verse 4]
Oh yes sheriff my name is Lee,
I [C]murdered little Sadie in the first de[Am]gree,
First degree, second degree, if you got any papers you
can [Dm]read 'em to me
[C][Am][Dm]

[Verse 5]
Took me downtown, dressed me in black,
[C]put me on a train and they sent me back,
[Dm]Had no [C]one for to go my [Am]bail,
(they) crammed me back in the county [Dm]jail
[C][Am]
[Dm]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]Judge and the jury took their stand,
the [C]judge held the [G]pa per in [C]his right [Am]hand,
[C]41 days, [Am]41 nights, 41 years to wear the
[Dm]ball and the stripes

[Outro 1]
[Dm][C][Am][C][Am][Dm]
