Two Hangmen - Mason Profitt
[Intro] (chords as verses; fingerpicking)
D  A  C  G
  G   A   Asus4   Asus2   A(trill)
(for C and G do a run up the inner strings:
 Cchord, hold and pick D E G A C
 Gchord, A B D E G)
[Verse 1]
As DI rode in to Tombstone on my Ahorse, his name was Mac
I Csaw what I'll relate to you goin' Gon behind my back
It F#seems the folks were up in arms, a Gman now had to die
For beAlievin' things that didn't fit the laws they'd set aside
[Verse 2]
The Dman's name was "I'm a Freak", the Abest that I could see
He Cwas the executioner, a Ghangman just like me
I F#guess that he'd seen loopholes from Gworkin' with his rope
He'd Ahung the wrong man many times, so now he turned to hope
[Verse 3]
He Dtalked to all the people from his Ascaffold in the square
He Ctold them of the things he found, but they Gdidn't seem to care
He F#said the laws were obsolete, a Gchange they should demand
But the Apeople only walked away, he couldn't understand
[Verse 4]
The Dmarshall's name was "Uncle Sam", he Asaid he'd right this wrong
He'd Cmake the hangman shut his mouth if it Gtook him all year long
He F#finally arrested Freak and Gthen he sent for me
To Ahang a fellow hangman from a fellow hangman's tree
[Verse 5]
It Ddidn't take them long to try him Ain their court of law
He was Cguilty then of thinkin', a Gcrime much worse than all
They F#sentenced him to die, so his Gseed of thought can't spread
And inAfect the little children, that's what the law had said
[Verse 6]
So the Dhangin' day came round, and he Awalked up to the noose
I Cpulled the lever but before he fGell, I cut him loose
They F#called it all conspiracy, and Gthen I had to die
So to Aclose our mouths and kill our minds, they hung us side by side
A     E
G  D  A
[Outro]
And now we're Atwo hangmen Ehangin' from a tree
That don't Gbother me   Dat Aall
ATwo hangmen Ehangin' from a tree
That don't Gbother me   Dat Aall
ATwo hangmen Ehangin' from a tree
That don't Gbother me   Dat Aall
ATwo hangmen Ehangin' from a tree
That don't Gbother me   Dat Aall
(repeat ad nauseum)

The man's name was "I'm a Freak", the best that I could see
