[Verse 1]
Am
Thunder crashing up above the path
Dm
Lightning flashing through the sky
Am
Rain falling from heavens above
        E                     E7
Another cold and lonely night

[Verse 2]
Am
Taking cover against a canyon wall
       Dm
Laying low and out of sight
Am                 E               E7      Am
How a man can grow tired of living just to hide

[Verse 3]
Am
The folks, they know me by many a name
            Dm
But you can call me Henry Lee
Am
Legend has it if you've seen my face
         E                           E7
It's the last thing that you'll see

[Verse 4]
           Am
It doesn't look such way, no, I'm old and gray
Dm
Far from in my prime
Am                    E       E7     Am
I'm tired of fighting off the end of time

[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Am
I've heard the word out of Eagle Pass
    Dm
Ten men were asking all around
Am
If any seen two weary traveller
       E                     E7
Making camp just out of town

[Verse 6]
Am
They followed me from the Rio Grande
        Dm
All the way to ol' Montana
Am                       E       E7      Am
Foolish me to think that I could stand a chance

[Verse 7]
Am
So tonight I'll stay peacefully
        Dm
Knowing fully where I'm bound
Am
But come the time that I Am judged
        E                     E7
I won't dare to make a sound

[Verse 8]
Am
For the blood that is on my hands
        Dm
Must be paid late on down
Am              E             E7       Am
Come to morning light to put me in the ground

[Chorus]
F              C
Henry Lee, oh, Henry Lee
G                   Am          Am/G
God have mercy on a sinner like thee
F                 C               G
Come on with your hands up to the sky
    F                C
The pass, it rests upon your head
   G                   Am     Am/G
Us men will come forth to collect
F                        C            G
There ain't a place left elsewhere to hide
                      Am    C G
You're running out of time
                      Am    C E E7
You're running out of time

[Verse 9]
Am
The night before the dead hang me high
       Dm
Lord I had quite the dream
Am
I was standing on a heavenly plane
        E                    E7
With my mother right next to me

[Verse 10]
          Am
She said "Come forward son and lay down your guns
         Dm
Find the peace that you deceive
Am                    E                     Am
Let this be the final stand for Henry Lee"
