[E] [D]
[G] [D] Poor Alan Smith, it's how she was found Shot through the heart, lying cold on the
ground Bullets began to fly, blood began to run
They murdered my sweetheart with a .44
gun [G] I saw her on Monday before that sad day
[D] They found her poor buddy and they took her away
Who [G] [D]
[G] [D] had the heart, who had the face To murder my sweetheart in this lonesome place
I laid here six months, afraid all the time They might find the one that committed the crime
[G] I saw her on Monday before that sad day [D] They found her poor buddy and they took her away
If
[G] [D]
I could go back, my character would say The flowers had faded on Sweden's grave
Now I'm in jail, God knows it's hard My sweetheart's in some lonesome graveyard
[G] I saw her on Monday before that sad day [D] They found her poor buddy and they took her away
[G] [D]
Well now I'm in jail, and God knows it's hard Now I'm in jail, a prisoner of mine
My God is here with me, He hears every bow [G] I did love little Alan to make her my [D] wife
But I loved her too dear just to take her sweet life All [G] the jewelry will hang me, that's if they [D] can
But God knows I'll lie as an innocent man
I [G] saw her on Monday before that sad [D] day They found her poor buddy and they took her away
Oh [G] I saw her on Monday before that sad [D] day They found her poor buddy and they took her away
[G] [D] Poor Alan Smith, it's how she was found Shot through the heart, lying cold on the
ground Bullets began to fly, blood began to run
They murdered my sweetheart with a .44
gun [G] I saw her on Monday before that sad day
[D] They found her poor buddy and they took her away
Who [G] [D]
[G] [D] had the heart, who had the face To murder my sweetheart in this lonesome place
I laid here six months, afraid all the time They might find the one that committed the crime
[G] I saw her on Monday before that sad day [D] They found her poor buddy and they took her away
If
[G] [D]
