Intro: Am  G 

verse 1 
Am        G              Em        Am 
Early one morning at the St. James Hospital 
          G              Em       E 
Early one morning in the month of May 
  Am            G          Em               Am 
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen 
                 Dm           E           Am 
Wrapped in white linen and as cold as the clay 


verse 2 
                G           Em          Am 
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story 
                G           Em          E 
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad song 
       Am           G             Em           Am 
For my poor head is aching and my sad heart is breaking 
           Dm           E              Am 
I’m a poor cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong 


verse 3 
             G                    Em           Am 
Send for the preacher to come and pray o’er my body 
             G                  Em         E 
Send for the doctor to come and heal up my wound 
       Am           G             Em           Am 
For my poor head is aching and my sad heart is breaking 
           Dm         E          Am 
I’m a poor cowboy and Hell is my doom 


verse 4 
                  G              Em       Am 
Get me six pretty maidens for to carry my coffin 
           G              Em        E 
Six pretty maidens for to sing me a song 
    Am           G                  Em             Am 
And tell them to bring some of them sweet-smelling lilies 
                 Dm           E         Am 
To throw o’er my body as they carry me along
