      [Intro]
         E           D  D     A
When I'm dead put me 10 miles deep
[Verse 1]
E                  D              E
Well hand me up my shotgun Maggie Mae
A                            E
Devil's come to take yer boy away
E
I been spotted on the run
D
But I'll be waitin' when they come
A                            E
Hand me up my shotgun Maggie Mae

[Verse 2]
E            D               E
I was born a poor man's only son
A                                  E
It ain't my fault I grew up on the run
E
Did my time as a workin' man
D
But they kept blood stains on my hands
A
I was born a poor man's only son

[Chorus]
E                    D   D     E
When I'm dead put me ten miles deep
A                    D   D     E
When I'm dead put me ten miles deep
E
Brother when you lay me down
D
Down beneath the cold hard ground
A                           E
You better put me ten miles deep

[Verse 3]
E                               E
I keep my pistol by my head at night
D                           E
Lordy I can't seem to do no right
E
My whole town they know my name

D
I killed a man and won my fame
A                              E
I keep my pistol by my head at night

[Verse 4]
E                    D         E
When I'm dead put me ten miles deep
A                                    E
When Jesus comes he won't disturb my sleep
E
I knew it when they shot me down
D
I felt the flames from under ground
A                              E
When I'm dead put me ten miles deep

Chorus: (Played as above)
E
Brother when you lay me down
D
Down beneath the cold hard ground
A                 G   G     E
You better put me ten miles deep
