       D                                      C    D
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty I've heard great many say
       D                                      C    D
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty I've heard great many say
        A                             G      D
He was not in this county, he was 40 miles away

          D                                               A     D
But they took him cross the mountain and they whooped him on a hill
          D
Yes they took him on the mountain and they whooped him on a hill
         A                                            G  D
It was there that he pleaded: Oh please, let me make my will

      D          C  D                        G/D   D
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty I've heard great many say
                          G D
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty  I've heard great many say
        A                          G         D
He was not in this county, he was 40 miles away

          D                                           G      D
But they took him down to Danville, and they throwed him in jail
                                                     D
Yes, they took him down to Danville, and they threw him in jail
        A                           G                 D
And it was there nobody saw him, nobody could go his bail

           D
But Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty I've heard great many say
                      D                  G     D
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty I've heard great many say
        A                          G         D
He was not in this county, he was 40 miles away

         D                                               G     D
But they took him out at midnight and they strapped him to a tree
                          Dsus4   D                       G     D
Yes, they took him out at midnight and they strapped him to a tree
         A                                    G       D
It was there that they killed him with rifle-bullets three

           D                                            Dsus4  D
But Hiram Hubbard was not guilty, Lord, I've heard great many say
       D                    Dsus4                  D
Hiram Hubbard wasn't guilty I've heard great many say
        A                          G  A      D
He was not in this county, he was 40 miles away.
