Marty Robbins
They're Hanging Me Tonight
Capo V
The chords are the same for each verse. The last line of some verses is repeated, both words and chords.
An occasional bit of arpeggio (e.g. on the G7 of the intro) can also add extra interest to this great song.
Intro: C Am F G7
When I Chear the rain a Amcomin' down
It Cmakes me sad and Amblue
Was Con a rainy Amnight like this
That FFlo said we were Cthrough.
I Ctold her how I lAmoved her and
I Cbegged her not to Amgo
But Canother man had cAmhanged her mind
So I Fsaid goodbye to CFlo.
Alone within my cell tonight
My heart is filled with fear
The only sound within the room
Is the falling of each tear.
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!
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.
Outro: C Am (repeat to fade)
