Bb       A              Ab 
Oh, in the cornfield beneath 
        G 
Hangman Street 
Eb              E 
Is a rock with some initials 
F                 Eb 
And beneath it is me 

          Bb             A                    Ab         G 
I need all your forgiveness and most of your love 
Eb 
You see, the hangman 
E 
You saw hanging 
        F               Eb 
That wasn't who I was 

       Cm        Bb 

But nobody noticed 
Ab              Eb 
Nobody cared but me

Bb              A 
Well, I knew she'd been unfaithful 
          Ab            G 
But he knew she had to pay 
Eb              E 
So I grew to be more like him 
F               Eb 
With each passing of each Day 

Bb              A 
But I slipped out on some side Road 
Ab      G 
I thought things I'd never dared 
Eb                  E 
So I went to a toolshed 
F                Eb 
Put shlack in my hand 

Cm                  Bb 
Oh, but nobody noticed 
Ab                           Eb 
Nobody cared but me 
Eb7M    Cm     C 
Oh, oh, ohhh.. 
          Ab 
Well, I came to touch Dutchman Falls 
             Cm         Bb 
With my hatchet and my dog 
F 
Well, she must have raised her hands 

I must have cut her down like cake 


And you know the man I was 

He left me long enough 

Was sad enough to say

Bb           A 
Now we were a virtue 
Ab                            G 
In pride and murder sin

I have no need for redemption 
F                 Eb 
I had no need for you
