[Verse 1]
      Am                   G              Am
I was standin beside the road in Blackjack  County
                G              E
Not knowing the sheriff paid a bounty

[Chorus]
Am              G               F                   E
For men like me who didn't have a penny to our names
      Am               G                 E
So he locked my leg to thirtyfive pounds of Blackjack
       Am
County chain

[Verse 2]
    Am            G                Am
And all we had to eat was bread and  water
                    G                 E
And each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter

[Chorus]
Am                       G             F
A black snake whip would cut our backs if some poor fool
    E
complained
        Am                     G
And you couldn't fight back wearin thirtyfive pounds of
E                Am
Blackjack County chain

[Verse 3]
    Am                  G                Am
And then one night when the sheriff was asleepin
                      G               E
We gathered all around him slowly creepin

[Chorus]
Am             G              F
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold,
    E
cold rain
        Am                     G
When we beat him to death with thrityfive pounds of
E                Am
Blackjack County chain

[Verse 4]
        Am                 G           Am
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful
                               G              E
That there's nothing but these scars around my ankles

[Chorus]
E    Am              G                F           E
 But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again
     Am                   G                    E
To a black snake whip and thirtyfive pounds of Blackjack
       Am
County chain

[Outro]
                          G                    E
To a black snake whip and thirtyfive pounds of Blackjack
       Am
County chain
E                Am
