[Intro] C Am F G7
       C               Am
When I hear the rain a comin' down

   C                Am
It makes me sad and blue

    C          Am
Was on a rainy night like this

     F                C
That Flo said we were through.

  C               Am
I told her how I loved her and

  C                 Am
I begged her not to go

    C                Am
But another man had changed her mind

     F               C
So I said goodbye to Flo.

 C               Am
Alone within my cell tonight

   C                    Am
My heart is filled with fear

    C              Am
The only sound within the room

       F               C
Is the falling of each tear.

  C               Am
I think about the thing I've done,

  C              Am
I know it wasn't right

        C          Am
They'll bury Flo tomorrow but 

        F            C
They're hanging me tonight,

        F            C
They're hanging me tonight!

     C                 Am
That night he came and took my Flo 

    C            Am
And headed in to town

  C             Am
I knew I had to find this man

    F              C
And try to gun him down

   C             Am
As I walked by a dim cafe

    C                    Am
and I looked through the door

  C                Am
I saw my Flo with her new love and 

  F              C
I couldn't stand no more,

  F             C
I couldn't stand no more.

  C               Am
I took my pistol from my hip and 

 C               Am
With a trembling hand

  C                Am
I took the life of pretty Flo and 

     F           C
That good for nothin' man

     F        C
That good for nothin' man!

  C                Am
I think about the thing I've done 

  C               Am
I know it wasn't right

        C           Am
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but 

        F            C
They're hanging me tonight,

        F            C
They're hanging me tonight.
