John D. Hale Band - Jedd Black Chords

_ _ Missoula 1852 [C] lived a man [Am] named Jed Black.
[G] He was sheriff of this county [D] for as long as I can think back.
[Am] He shot a man one night that [C] still haunts him to this day.
[G] And his story of revenge [D] proves he [A] never paid.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] Jed came home early [C] from his sheriff job in town [G] to finish up his crops [D] before the sun set [G] down.
[A] [Am] An extra horse in his [C] barn he thought he recognized.
_ [G] This could only mean one [D] thing, somebody was [A] with his wife.
The _
[G] darkness in his heart [D] and the sadness [Am] in his eyes.
[G] With a stone look on his face he [Am] rides the mountainside.
[G] He prays, please oh lord forgive me [D] for all that [Am] I have done.
[G] I never should have sought [D] revenge through the barrel [Am] of a gun.

_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] [Am] Now he don't sleep at night, [C] he just walks the floor.
[G] He doesn't stand a chance in [D] hell to go to heaven anymore.
[A] Sometimes in his [Am] town [C] he sees his cheating wife.
[G] He thinks to himself he should have killed [D] her instead of taking his [A] brother's life. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] He shot his mother's youngest [C] son before that he is condemned.
[G] He wakes up in the morning [D] one day closer to the [G] end.
[Am] To end of all his sorrows, [C] to the end of his revenge.
[G] He's headed for the gates of [D] hell where his new life [A] will begin.
The _ [G] darkness in his heart [Am] and the sadness in his eyes.
[G] With a stone look on his face [D] he [Am] rides the mountainside.
[G] He prays, please oh lord forgive me [D] [Am] for all that I have done.
[G] I never should have sought [D] revenge through the barrel [A] of a gun. _ _
