Dm

[Verse 1]
---------------------
        Dm         F                     Am/D
Went out  one night for to make a little round
  C                                   Am
I met little Sadie and I shot her down
C
Went back home and I got in my bed
A7                 Dm
44 pistol under my head
             F                         Am/D
Wake up next morning 'bout a half past nine
    C                                         Am
The hacks and the buggies all standing in line
C
Gents and the gamblers standing all around
A7                                 Dm
Taking little Sadie to her burying ground

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      Dm         F                     Am/D
Then I  begin to think what a deed I'd done
  C                            Am
I grabbed my hat and away I run
  C
I made a good run but a little too slow
     A7                  Dm
They overtook me in Jericho
                      F                       Am/D       C
I was standing on the corner, reading the bill    When up
                               Am
stepped the sheriff from Thomasville
   C
He says, "Young man, ain't your name Brown?
  A7                                    Dm
Remember the night you shot Sadie down?"



[Verse 3]
---------------------
  Dm          F               Am/D
I says, "Yes, sir, my name is Lee 
  C                                        Am
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
        C
And the first degree and the second degree
   A7                                            Dm
If you got any papers, won't you read 'em to me?"
                 F                      Am/D     C
They took me downtown and dressed me in black Put
                                   Am
me on the train and started me back
     C
They crammed me back in that Thomasville jail
      A7                            Dm
And I had no money for to go my bail



[Verse 4]
---------------------
     Dm            F                     Am/D
That judge and the jury, they took their stand
    C                                 Am
The judge had the papers in his right hand
 C
41 days and 41 nights
A7                                Dm
41 years to wear the ball and the stripes
