Little Sadie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
[D][Bm]
[Em]
[D]
[Bm]
[Em]I went

[Verse 1]
out last night to make a little round
I [D]met little Sadie and
I shot her [Bm]down
I went back home, I got in the bed,
a .44 smokeless [Em]under my head
Woke up the next morning
about half past nine,
the [D]coaches and the hacks
all standing in a [Bm]line
The gents and the gamblers
standing all around,
taking little Sadie to her
[Em]burying [D]ground[Bm]
[Em]
I began to think what a deed I'd done
He [D]grabbed my hat and away I
[Bm]run
I made a good run but
I run too slow
They overtook me down in [Em]Jericho
I was standing on the corner
reading the bill
When [D]up stepped the sheriff
from Thomas[Bm]ville
Says, young man,
ain't your name Brown?
Remember that night
you shot [Em]Sadie down?
I said, yes, sir, my name is Lee
And I [D]shot little Sadie in the first degree
[Bm]In the first degree, in the second degree
If you got any papers,
won't you [Em]read them to me?
They took me downtown
and they dressed me in black
They [D]put me on a train
and they brought me [Bm]back
They carried me back to that Thomasville jail
I had no money for to [Em]go my face
The judge and the jury, took their stand
The [D]judge had the papers
and he was right [Bm]hand
Forty -one days, forty -one nights
Forty -one years of weather,
[Em]ball and [D]stride[Bm]
[Em]
[D]
[Bm]Forty -one days, forty -one nights,
forty -one years of weather,
fall and [Em]the strikes you
