Intro: Am
 
D Am D
Somewhere on a lonely, muddy country road
Am D
I heard your song, crow, for the first time
Am
Somewhere in the distance, wicked, black and low
G D
Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
Am G D Am D
Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
 
Am D
Some say she died of drowning in a river deep
Am D
Some say she died of a sudden start
Am
Some say they found her swinging from my old man's tree
G D
And some folks say she died of a broken heart
Am G D
And some folks say she died of a broken heart

Am D
I can't believe they would pay men just to hunt me down
Am D
But silver coins to each one do they give
Am
By now there's a gallows standing in the town
G D
And I wonder, how much more I have to live
Am G D Am
And I wonder, how much more I have to live

Oh, somewhere on a lonely, muddy country road

Somewhere in the distance, wicked, black and low

Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
Am G D Am D
Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
