[Verse 1]
A#m G# A#m
I was standin' beside the road in Blackjack County
A#m G# F
Not knowing the sheriff paid a bounty
A#m G# F# F
For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names
A#m G# F F/G# A#m
So he locked my leg to thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
[Verse 2]
A#m G# A#m
And all we had to eat was bread and water
A#m G# F
And each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter
A#m G# F# F
A# black snake whip would crack our backs if some poor fool complained
A#m G# F F/G# A#m
And you couldn't fight back wearin' thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
[Verse 3]
A#m G# A#m
And then one night when the sheriff was a-sleepin'
A#m G# F
We gathered all around him slowly creepin'
A#m G# F# F
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold, cold rain
A#m G# F F/G# A#m
When we beat him to death with thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
[Interlude]
A#m F F/G# A#m
A#m F F/G# A#m
[Verse 4]
A#m G# A#m
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful
A#m G# F
That there's nothing but these scars around my ankles
A#m G# F# F
But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again
A#m G# F F/G# A#m
To a black snake whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
A#m G# F F/G# A#m
To a black snake whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain
F F/G# A#m
Blackjack County chain
