They're Hanging Me Tonight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][G]

[Verse 1]
When I [C]hear the rain [Am]a- comin' down,
it [C]makes me sad and [Am]blue
[C]Was on a rainy [Am]night like this,
[F]that Flo said we were [C]through
I told her how I [Am]loved her,
and I [C]begged her not to [Am]go
But an[C]other man had [Am]changed her mind,
so [F]I said goodbye to F[C]lo
Alone within my [Am]cell tonight,
[C]my heart is filled with [Am]fear
The [C]only sound with[Am]in the room,
is the [F]falling of [C]each tear
I think about the [Am]thing I've done,
[C]I know it wasn't r[Am]ight
[C]They'll bury Flo to[Am]morrow,
but [F]they're hanging me to[C]night
They're [F]hanging me to[C]night

[Verse 2]
[C]That night he came and [Am]took my Flo,
[C]and headed in to [Am]town
[C]I knew I had to f[Am]ind this man,
and [F]try to gun him [C]down
As I walked by a [Am]dim café,
and [C]I looked through the d[Am]oor
[C]I saw my Flo with h[Am]er new love
and I [F]couldn't stand no [C]more
[F]I couldn't stand no m[C]ore

[Verse 3]
I [C]took my pistol [Am]from my hip,
[C]and with a trembling [Am]hand
[C]I took the life o[Am]f pretty Flo,
and that [F]good for nothin' [C]man
That [F]good for nothin' [C]man!

[Verse 4]
I [C]think about the [Am]thing I've done,
[C]I know it wasn't r[Am]ight
[C]They'll bury Flo to[Am]morrow,
but [F]they're hanging me to[C]night
They're [F]hanging me

[Outro 1]
(to[C]night)[Am][C][Am]
[Fade out]
