Album: Ghost Train: The Studio B Sessions
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1st fret
I killed anAother man today, Dit's hard to beliAeve,
That EI lost count at thirty, and I've grAown too numb to grieve.
The boAttle helps me cope, when DI lay down at niAght,
And when the dEope rolls through my veins, it aAll fades out of sight.
HaDngman, Hangman,
ThAat's my stock and trade.
HaEngman, Hangman,
Sending bAad men to their grave.
But wAho killed who? I ask myself,
TDime and time agAain.
God have mEercy on the soul,
Of this HE7angmAan.
And there's a wAoman down the street, named RDosalie McFAall,
She don't aEsk me any questions, whAen I come to call.
Her bAody keeps me warm, her woDrds are soft and kAind,
She hoElds me in her arms, 'til the bAad dreams leave my mind.
HaDngman, Hangman,
ThAat's my stock and trade.
HaEngman, Hangman,
Sending bAad men to their grave.
But wAho killed who? I ask myself,
TDime and time agAain.
God have mEercy on the soul,
Of this HE7angmAan.

A D A

I killed another man today, it's hard to believe,

E A

That I lost count at thirty, and I've grown too numb to grieve.

A D A

The bottle helps me cope, when I lay down at night,

E A

And when the dope rolls through my veins, it all fades out of sight.

Hangman, Hangman,

That's my stock and trade.

Hangman, Hangman,

Sending bad men to their grave.

But who killed who? I ask myself,

D A

Time and time again.

God have mercy on the soul,

E7 A

Of this Hangman.

A D A

And there's a woman down the street, named Rosalie McFall,

E A

She don't ask me any questions, when I come to call.

A D A

Her body keeps me warm, her words are soft and kind,

E A

She holds me in her arms, 'til the bad dreams leave my mind.

Hangman, Hangman,

That's my stock and trade.

Hangman, Hangman,

Sending bad men to their grave.

But who killed who? I ask myself,

D A

Time and time again.

God have mercy on the soul,

E7 A

Of this Hangman.
