John Wesley Harding:
Intro: D
[D] John Wesley Harding
Was a friend to the po[A]or,
[D]He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand.
All along this coun[A]tryside,
[E]He opened a many a door,
[A]But he was never known
[D]To hurt an honest man.
intro
[D]'Twas down in Chaynee County,
A time they talk a[A]bout,
[D]With his lady by his side
He took a stan[A]d.
And soon the situation there
[E]Was all but straightened out,
[A]For he was always known
[D]To lend a helping hand.
intro
[D]All across the telegraph
His name it did re[A]sound,
[D]But no charge held against him
Could they pr[A]ove.
And there was no man around
[E]Who could track or chain him down,
[A]He was never known
[D]To make a foolish move.
Finish off with solo.
As I Went Out One Morning:
Intro: A E F#m
[F#m] As I went out one [E]morning, to breathe the[F#m] air a[E]round Tom [F#m]Paine?s
I [F#m]spied the fairest [E]damsel, that [F#m]ever did [E]walk in [F#m]chains
I [A]offer'd her my [C#m]hand, she [F#m]took me[E] by the [F#m]arm
I [F#m]knew that very [E]instant, she [F#m]meant to [E]do me[F#m] harm
Intro
[F#m]Depart from me this [E]moment, I told her with[F#m] my vo[E]ice[F#m]
[F#m]Said she, "But I don[E]'t wish to, said I, but[F#m] you h[E]ave no cho[F#m]ice
[A]I beg you, sir,[C#m] she plead[F#m]ed, fro[E]m the co[F#m]rners of her mouth
[F#m]I will secretly[E] accept you, [F#m]and toget[E]her w[F#m]e'll fly south
Intro
[F#m]Just then Tom Paine,[E] himself, came running [F#m]from a[E]cross the [F#m]field
[F#m]Shouting at this lov[E]ely girl, and commandin[F#m]g her [E]to yield[F#m]
[A]And as she was [C#m]letting go[F#m] her gr[E]ip, up T[F#m]om Paine did run
[F#m]I'm sorry, sir,[E] he said to m[F#m]e, I'm so[E]rry f[F#m]or what she's done
I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine:
Intro:D E
[D]I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
[E]Alive as you or me,
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery,
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold,
Searching for the very souls
Whom already have been sold.
[D]"Arise, arise," he cried so loud,
[E]In a voice without restraint,
"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint.
No martyr is among ye now
Whom you can call your own,
So go on your way accordingly
But know you're not alone."
[D]I dreamed I saw St. Augustine,
[E]Alive with fiery breath,
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
That put him out to death.
Oh, I awoke in anger,
So alone and terrified,
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried.

The Ballad Of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest:
Intro: C Em Dm C
Wel[C]l, Frankie Lee a[Em]nd Judas Priest,
They [Dm]were the best of friends.[C]
So when [C]Frankie Lee needed [Em]money one day,
Judas [Dm]quickly pulled out a roll of tens[C]
And [C]placed them on a [Em]footstool
Just [Dm]above the plotted plain,[C]
Sayin', [C]"Take your pick, [Dm]Frankie Boy,
My [Em]loss will be your gain."[C]
Intro
[C]Well, Frankie Le[Em]e, he sat right down
[Dm]And put his fingers to his[C] chin,
[C]But with the col[Em]d eyes of Judas on him,
[Dm]His head began to spin.[C]
[C]"Could ya please[Em] not stare at me like that," he said,
[Dm]"It's just my foolish prid[C]e,
[C]For sometimes a m[Dm]an must be alone
[Em]And this is no place to h[C]ide."
Intro
[C]Well Judas, he j[Em]ust winked and said,
[Dm]"All right, I'll leave you[C] here,
[C]But you'd better[Em] hurry up and choose
[Dm]Which of those bills you w[C]ant,
[C]Before they all [Em]disappear."
[Dm]"I'm gonna start my pickin[C]' right now,
[Em]Just tell me where you'll[C] be."
Intro
[C]Judas pointed do[Em]wn the road
[Dm]And said eternity,[C]
[C]"Eternity?" said[Em] Frankie Lee,
[Dm]With a voice as cold as ic[C]e.
[C]"That's right," [Em]said Judas Priest, "Eternity,
[Dm]Though you might call it '[C]Paradise.'"
Intro
[C]"I don't call it[Em] anything,"
[Dm]Said Frankie Lee with a sm[C]ile.
[C]"All right," sai[Em]d Judas Priest,
[Dm]"I'll see you after a whil[C]e."
Intro
[C]Well, Frankie Le[Em]e, he sat back down,
[Dm]Feelin' low and mean,[C]
[C]When just then a[Em] passing stranger
[Dm]Burst upon the scene,[C]
[C]Saying, "Are you[Em] Frankie Lee, the gambler,
[Dm]Whose father's deceased?[C]
Well, if you are,
[C]There's a fellow [Dm]callin' you down the road
[Em]And they say his name is [C]Priest."
Intro
[C]"Oh, yes, he is [Em]my friend,"
[Dm]Said Frankie Lee in fright[C],
[C]"I do recall him[Em] very well,
[Dm]In fact, he just left my s[C]ight."
[C]"Yes, that's the[Em] one," said the stranger,
[Dm]As quiet as a mouse,[C]
[C]"Well, my message[Dm] is, he's down the road,
[Em]Stranded in a house."[C]
Intro
[C]Well, Frankie Le[Em]e, he panicked,
[Dm]He dropped ev'rything and [C]ran
[C]Until he came un[Em]to the spot
[Dm]Where Judas Priest did sta[C]nd.
[C]"What kind of ho[Em]use is this," he said,
[Dm]"Where I have come to roam[C]?"
[C]"It's not a house[Dm]," says Judas Priest,
[Em]"It's not a house, it's a[C] home."
Intro
[C]Well, Frankie Le[Em]e, he trembled,
[Dm]He soon lost all control[C]
[C]Over everything [Em]which he had made
[Dm]While the mission bells di[C]d toll.
[C]He just stood th[Em]ere staring
[Dm]At that big house as brigh[C]t as any sun,
[C]With four and twe[Dm]nty windows
[Em]And a woman's face in eve[C]ry one.
Intro
[C]Well, up the sta[Em]irs ran Frankie Lee
[Dm]With a soulful, bounding l[C]eap,
[C]And, foaming at [Em]the mouth,
[Dm]He began to make his midni[C]ght creep.
[C]For sixteen nigh[Em]ts and days he raved,
[Dm]But on the seventeenth he [C]burst
[C]Into the arms of [Dm]Judas Priest,
[Em]Which is where he died of[C] thirst.
Intro
[C]No one tried to [Em]say a thing
[Dm]When they carried him out [C]in jest,
[C]Except, of cours[Em]e, the little neighbour boy
[Dm]Who carried him to rest.[C]
[C]And he just walk[Em]ed along, alone,
[Dm]With his guilt all well co[C]ncealed,
[C]And muttered unde[Dm]rneath his breath,
[Em]"Nothing is revealed."[C]
Intro
[C]Well, the moral [Em]of the story,
[Dm]The moral of this song,[C]
[C]Is simply that o[Em]ne should never be
[Dm]Where one does not belong.[C]
[C]So when you see [Em]your neighbour carryin' somethin',
[Dm]Help him with his load,[C]
[C]And don't go mist[Dm]aking Paradise
[Em]For that home across the [C]road.

Drifter's Escape:
Capo: 2nd Fret
"Oh, [G]help me in my weakness,"
I heard the [C/G]drifter [G]say,
As they [G]carried him from the courtroom
And were taking [C/G]him a[G]way.
"My [G]trip hasn't been a pleasant one
And my time it [C/G]isn't [G]long,
And I still do not know
What it was that [C/G]I've done [G]wrong."
Well, [G]the judge, he cast his robe aside,
A tear came [C/G]to his [G]eye,
"You [G]fail to understand," he said,
"Why must you [C/G]even [G]try?"
Out[G]side, the crowd was stirring,
You could hear it [C/G]from the [G]door.
Inside, the judge was stepping down,
While the jury [C/G]cried for [G]more.
"Oh, [G]stop that cursed jury,"
Cried the att[C/G]endant and the [G]nurse,
"The [G]trial was bad enough,
But this is [C/G]ten times [G]worse."
Just [G]then a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse [C/G]out of [G]shape,
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
The drifter [C/G]did e[G]scape.

[Bb]To have it too fast and too much,
[C]And anyone can[Dm7] fill h[C]is life u[C7]p with things he can see

[C]Dear Landlord, please don't dismiss my case,[E7]
[Am]I'm not about [Am/G]to arg[F]ue, I'm not about[Em] to move[Dm] to no other place.

To wander off in shame.

I Pity The Poor Immigrant:
Intro: G
[G]I pity the poor immigra[D]nt
Who wishes he would've stayed h[G]ome,
[G]Who uses all his power to do ev[D]il
But in the end is always left so alon[G]e.
[D]That man whom with his fingers c[Am]heats
[D]And who lies with ev'ry[G] breath,

[D]And likewise, fears his dea[G]th.

Whose strength is spent in vai[G]n,
[G]Whose heaven is like Ir[D]onsides,
Whose tears are like ra[G]in,

[D]Who hears but does not se[G]e,
Who falls in [D]love with wealth itself
And turns his back on [G]me.
Intro
[G]I pity the poor imm[D]igrant
Who tramples through the mu[G]d,
Who fills his mouth with la[D]ughing
And who builds his town with bl[G]ood,
[D]Whose visions in the final e[Am]nd
[D]Must shatter like the gla[G]ss.
[G]I pity the poor imm[D]igrant
When his gladness comes to p[G]ass.

The Wicked Messanger:
[G]There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did [F]come,
With a [G]mind that multiplied the smallest matter.
When questioned who had sent for him,
He answered with his [F]thumb,
For his [G]tongue it could not speak, but only flatter.
[G]He stayed behind the assembly hall,
[F]It was there he made his bed,
[G]Oftentimes he could be seen returning.
Until one day he just appeared
[F]With a note in his hand which read,
[G]"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning."
[G]Oh, the leaves began to fallin'
A[F]nd the seas began to part,
[G]And the people that confronted him were many.
A[F]nd he was told but these few words,
[G]Which opened up his heart,
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any."
