Version 1[Intro] C Am C Am C Am I'm holding my head up C Am I'm not gonna cry C Am Or tell them that I need her F G And that without her I would die C Am I'm not gonna argue C Am They won't listen to me C Am I'm just gonna stay right here F G C Under the poplar tree Am C Am C Am Let me tell you a story C Am It happened this way C Am It was born out of longing F G In a man that's gone astray C Am I've been to the valley C Am In the shadow of death C Am I've crossed many rivers F G C Wearing a scar on my chest F C Can't outrun this heartache? F C A man, he sure can try F Am I gave my all to that woman F G C Then she turned around and said goodbye Am C Am C Am I was in a high desert C Am Dell City was the town C Am That's when my luck turned south F G This ol' boy started showin' out C Am He killed the clerk and a young girl C Am Who was only standin' there C Am He looked at me real peculiar F G C With the bullets flying through the air F C I lit out in a hurry F C He went out in a hearse F Am Heartbroken and wanted F G C Couldn't tell you which one of 'em is worse Am C Am C Am He must've been real important C Am Cause his posse caught up to me C Am I was holding my head up F G C When they hung me from a poplar tree Am Yes, they hung me from a poplar tree C Am C Am C Am F G C
