Chords with lyrics

E minorEm G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G EM G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G G/F#

E minorEm                  C majorC
Minnie was a mother to a hundred or more
   D MajorD   G+G
in Winton town

E minorEm                   C majorC
Red faced mamas come a knocking on her door
   D MajorD     G+G     G/F#
The whole ten pounds
  D MajorD              G+G     C majorC
Winter in the south makes the heart beat slow
   E minorEm            D MajorD   G+G
But hearts beat slower in the garden below
    C majorC                          E minorEm
Then three went missing and the men started digging in the ground, the ground
                 C majorC                   E minorEm
the men started digging in the ground, three found, bring poor Minnie downtown
    D MajorD             E minorEm
But a woman won't hang in Winton town

G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC E minorEm D MajorD G+G G/F#

E minorEm                    C majorC
Hundreds in the room while Minnie stood trial
    D MajorD   G+G
Many more outside
E minorEm                  C majorC
Minnie you're accused of a serious crime
D MajorD    G+G
Infanticide
   D MajorD            G+G   C majorC
The crowd all cheered as the gavel rang
      E minorEm           D MajorD     G+G
But have mercy on the soul of a woman who hangs
       C majorC                      E minorEm
Then they carried her away and the crowd all followed her down
                  C majorC
Down, the crowd all followed her down, three found
           E minorEm
Everybody gathered round
  D MajorD             E minorEm
To see a woman hang in Winton town
  D MajorD             E minorEm
Oh see a woman hang in Winton town
