Verse 1
~~~~~~~

         D       C                D
Hey look yonder, Henry, comes the sheriff
                    C              D 
And he's carrying a warrant in his hand.
                       C               D
Don't you run poor ol' Henry for he'll shoot you,
                  A         D
Not long will you be a free man.

~~~~~~
Chorus
~~~~~~

       G                      D     
Now 20 years you must spend behind steel bars,
      G                      D
For a crime that you did not do.
         G                     D
Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
                     A       D
Has proved to be the ruin of you.

Verse 2
~~~~~~~

         D        C             D    
Tried to warn you Henry, not to cross her.
                   C                 D
Tried to tell you about her vengeful ways.
                    C             D
When you turned and left her for another,
                  A                   D   
She swore, Henry, that she'd make you pay.

Verse 3

       D    C             D
Listen well all you young rounders
                         C           D
Heed the lesson poor old Henry never learned,
                    C             D
That even Hell with all its fiery power
             A            D       D7 
Hath no fury like a woman scorned.

~~~~~~
Chorus

         G                     D           
Yeah the lie she swore in that district court
                     A       D
Has proved to be the ruin of you...
