verse:
C5                  A5 Bb5
Early one days morning
  F5                      D5
i came upon a fine young horse
  C5 Bb6   Am  Bb6  C5
i mounted  up  and lead him onward
F5                   Bb6
he was grey as the sky
Am               Bb6
as the sky above
Am
as the sky above
C5
as the sky above


I slept down by the river 
And what a sad dream I had 
I'm afraid my love 
It must be true 
Today I will go and leave you 
Today I will be gone 

I awoke and was surrounded 
Nine of the law stood before me 
Askin me my name and business 
Demanding proof of me 
Demanding proof of me 
Proof of me 

What do you want from me 
Would you have me your prisoner 
No but you must give us that horse 
You must give us that roan gray horse 

Listen he aint for sale 
Never for the law to ride 
If that should happen none would be safe 
Even the birds 
Even the birds 
Would be afraid to fly 

So they ask again what was my name they ask again what was my name 
Two were dead before they could move 
Two were dead before they could move 
Thats my name 
Thats my name 
If you please 
Thats my name 
Thats my name 
If you please
