F
John Wesley Harding
          Bb   C     F
Was a friend to the poor,
                                 Gm     Bb   C
He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand.
F
All along this countryside,
    Bb      C         F
He opened a many a door,
 
But he was never known
    Bb      C7      F
To hurt an honest man.
 
F                         Bb
'Twas down in Chaynee County,
   C           F
A time they talk about,
 
With his lady by his side
                     Gm      Bb      C
He took a stand.
          F
And soon the situation there
              Bb      C      F
Was all but straightened out,
 
For he was always known
Bb       C7     F
To lend a helping hand.
 
 
F
All across the telegraph
            Bb      C       F
His name it did resound,
 
But no charge held against him
     Gm    Bb     C
Could they prove.
              F
And there was no man around
Bb        C         F
Who could track or chain him down,
 
He was never known
    Bb       C7     F
To make a foolish move.

Think you lack an F in third last line second verse. Chords are somewhat poorly noted as to where they should come. Otherwise fine!

I play it in C, better for me to sing along then. Then follow F, G, and on ‘hurt’ dm. Turn off your mind! Relax! Float downstream, y’hear!

Excellent, thanks!
