Theyre Hanging Me Tonight chords

[F] ; xx3211
[Dm] ; xx0231
[A#] ; x13331

Note: This can also be played with a capo on the 5th fret and by playing the open chords
of [C] , [Am] and [F] from there (Actually [F] , [Dm] and [A#] , but they look like the open chords
from the capo).

4/4

Intro: [F] [Dm] [A#] [F]

[F]When I hear the rain a [Dm]comin' down
[F]it makes me sad and blu[Dm]e
[F]Was on a rainy night like [Dm]this
[A#]that Flo said we were thro[F]ugh.

[F]I told her how I lov[Dm]ed her,
[F]and I begged her not [Dm]to go
[F]But another man had changed [Dm]her mind
[A#]so I said goodbye to [F]Flo.

[F]Alone within my cell t[Dm]onight
[F]my heart is filled with[Dm] fear
[F]The only sound within th[Dm]e room
[A#]is the falling of each t[F]ear.

[F]I think about the thing I'v[Dm]e done,
[F]I know it wasn't righ[Dm]t
[F]They'll bury Flo tomor[Dm]row, [A#]but they're hanging me tonig[F]ht,
[A#]They're hanging me toni[F]ght!

That night he came and took my Flo and headed in to town
I knew I had to find this man and try to gun him down
As I walked by a dim cafe and I looked through the door
I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldn't stand no more,
I couldn't stand no more.

I took my pistol from my hip and with a trembling hand
I took the life of pretty Flo and that good for nothin' man
That good for nothin' man!
I think about the thing I've done I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
They're hanging me tonight.
