Intro: F Dm Bb C

F                      Dm
When I hear the rain a comin' down

F                      Dm
it makes me sad and blue

F                         Dm
Was on a rainy night like this

Bb                        F
that Flo said we were through.

F                   Dm
I told her how I loved her,

F                    Dm
and I begged her not to go

F                           Dm
But another man had changed her mind

Bb                   F
so I said goodbye to Flo.

F                     Dm
Alone within my cell tonight

F                      Dm
my heart is filled with fear

F                       Dm
The only sound within the room

Bb                      F
is the falling of each tear.

F                          Dm
I think about the thing I've done,

F                    Dm
I know it wasn't right

F                     Dm   Bb                          F
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,

Bb                     F
They're hanging me tonight!

That night he came and took my Flo and headed in to town I knew I had to find this man and try to gun him down As I walked by a dim cafe and I looked through the door I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldn't stand no more, I couldn't stand no more. I took my pistol from my hip and with a trembling hand I took the life of pretty Flo and that good for nothin' man That good for nothin' man! I think about the thing I've done I know it wasn't right They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight, They're hanging me tonight.
