Intro (1st bar=riff):

  C                                   F          C/e*)  C
A winter wind is a-blowin' strong, my hands have got no gloves.
  F          C/e       G/d     C                  G        C
I wish to my soul that I could see the girl I'm a-thinking of.

Don't you remember me, babe, I remember you quite well,
It caused me to leave old Kingsport Town with a high sheriff on my trail.

High sheriff on my trail, boys, high sheriff on my trail,

  G
I will not go down under the ground
                              C
"Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round
      G
An' I will not carry myself down to die
                         C
When I go to my grave my head will be high,
       G         C
Let me die in my footsteps
  G      D/f#    C         G
Before I go down under the ground.
