HANGMAN
As recorded by Cory Marks
(2025 release)


Capo 1st fret


Verse 1:
       Am            C
Cut me loose, set me free
          G               Am
Keep your noose away from me
                       C                  G
I’ve had enough losing blood to feed your cancer
D            Am            C
I’ve done my time, paid my dues
           G                D
You got me high to watch me lose
       Am                   C                G
Lesson learned, I guess you burn to find the answers

Chorus:
Am             C
Hangman in the dust and gravel
G              D
Hangman got my name on the gavel
Am             C
Hangman try to steal my hope
       G
At the end of my rope
      Am
But I ain’t gonna, ain’t gonna
             C
Hangman, put me on trial
G     D
Amen, hand on the bible
Am             C
Hangman try to steal my hope
       G
At the end of my rope
      D
But I ain’t gonna, ain’t gonna

Verse 2:
Am                        C
I might bend, but I won’t bow
       G                  D
And my boots will hit the ground
          Am              C
Got these burns around my neck
              G         D
But I’m still breathing


Verse 3:
Am                 C
Ain’t nobody gonna save me, save me
G                  D
Ain’t nobody gonna shut my mouth
Am                 C
Ain’t nobody gonna break me, break me
G
Time to cut me down


Chorus:
Am             C
