Tthey're Hanging Me Tonight chords by Marty Robbins

Chords with lyrics

weren't very accurate (Not saying these will be 100% either, but I like them better than
what I found.)

F: xx3211
Dm: xx0231
Bb: x13331

Note: This can also be played with a capo on the 5th fret and by playing the open chords
of C, A minorAm and FF from there (Actually F, DmDm and Bb, but they look like the open chords
from the capo).

Intro: FF DmDm Bb majorBb FF

FF           DmDm
When I hear the rain a comin' down
FF           DmDm
it makes me sad and blue
FF             DmDm
Was on a rainy night like this
Bb majorBb            FF
that Flo said we were through.

FF          DmDm
I told her how I loved her,
FF          DmDm
and I begged her not to go
FF              DmDm
But another man had changed her mind
Bb majorBb          FF
so I said goodbye to Flo.


FF           DmDm
Alone within my cell tonight
FF           DmDm
my heart is filled with fear
FF            DmDm
The only sound within the room
Bb majorBb           FF
is the falling of each tear.


FF             DmDm
I think about the thing I've done,
FF          DmDm
I know it wasn't right
FF           DmDm  Bb majorBb             FF
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
Bb majorBb           FF
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,
