I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly deadI knelt down beside him and I listenedJust to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in FriscoFor ten long years I've paid for what I've doneI was trying to get back to LouisianaTo see my Rose and get to know my son
Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you misterTake her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty
clothesTell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for meTell my boy to help his mom at homeTell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my moneyIt won't last them long the way it goesGod bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Chorus:Give my love to Rose please won't you misterTake her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty
clothesTell my boy his daddy's so proud of himAnd don't forget to give my love to Rose

I was standing by my windowOn one cold and cloudy dayWhen I saw that hearse come rollingFor to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky
I said to that undertakerUndertaker please drive slowFor this lady you are carryingLord, I hate to see here go
Will the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, I followed close behind herTried to hold up and be braveBut I could not hide my sorrowWhen they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky
I went back home, my home was lonesomeMissed my mother, she was gone All of my brothers, sisters cryingWhat a home so sad and lone
Will the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky
We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strongOnes that mother Maybelle taught usHear the angels sing along
Will the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitingIn the sky, Lord, in the sky

D
Well I don't know why I came here tonight
D
I got the feeling that something ain't right
G7
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chairD
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
A
Clowns to the left of me
C G D
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should doIt's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right
Here I am, Stuck in the middle with you.
Bridge:
G7
Well you started out with nothing and you're proud that
you're a
D Self made man
G7
And your friends, they all come crawlin, slap you on the
back and say
D A7
^^
Please.... Please.....
Third Verse:
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see that it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns...

Intro - C, F handful of times
[C]Early one morning
With [F]time to kill
I [Am]borrowed Jeb's rifle
And [F]sat on the hillI [C]saw a lone rider
[F]Crossing the plain
I [Am]drew a bead on him
To [F]practice my aim
[Dm]My brother's rifle
Went [G]off in my hand
A shot rang out
[C]Across the land
The [F]horse he kept running
The [Am]rider was dead
I [C]hung my head I [F]hung my head[C]
[C]I set off running
To [F]wake from the dream
[Am]My brother's rifle
Went [F]into the stream
[C]I kept on running
[F]Into the salt lands
And [Am]that's where they found me
My [F]head in my hands
The [Dm]sheriff he asked me
[G]Why had I runThen it came to me
Just [C]what I had done
And [F]all for no reason
Just [Am]one piece of lead
I [C]hung my head I [F]hung my head
[C]
[C]Here in the courthouse
The [F]whole town is there
[Am]I see the judge
High [F]up in his chair
"Ex[C]plain to the courtroomWhat [F]went through your mind
And [Am]we'll ask the jury
What [F]verdict they find"
I said [Dm]"I felt the power
Of [G]death over life
I orphaned his children
I [C]widowed his wife
I [F]beg their forgiveness
I [Am]wish I was dead"
I [C]hung my head, I [F]hung my head
[C][C]Early one morning

With [F]time to kill
[Am]I see the gallows
[F]Up on the hill
And [C]out in the distance
A [F]trick of the brain
I [Am]see a lone rider[F]Crossing the plain
[Dm]He's come to fetch me
To [G]see what they done
We'll ride together
[C]'Til kingdom come
I [F]pray for God's mercy
For [F]soon I'll be dead
I [C]hung my head, I [F]hung my head
I [C]hung my head, I [F]hung my head
I [C]hung my head, I [F]hung my head

Am D
Is it getting better
F G
Or do you feel the same
Am D
Will it make it easier on you now
F G You got someone to blame
C
You say
Am
One love
F
One life
C
When it's one need
in the night
It's one loveAm
We get to share it
F
It leaves you baby
C
If you don't care for it
Am, D, F, G
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
(Bridge)C

Love is a temple
Am
Love a higher law
C
Love is a temple
Am
Love the higher lawC
You ask me to enter
G
But then you make me crawl
F
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
C
When all you got is hurt
One love
One bloodOne life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One.
