Capo 5
[Intro]
C Am F G7
[Verse]
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.
Alone within my cell tonight
My heart is filled with fear
The only sound within the room
Is the falling of each tear.
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!
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.
