[Verse 1]
Em Em/G B7
Where are you going black crow?
Em C B7
Where are you going black crow?
Em G Am7
I'm flying out to find me an unfortunate soul
C B7 Em
I've a message to deliver to him
[Verse 2]
Em Em/G B7
I threw an old penny down a well
Em C B7
I watched as it forever fell
Em G Am7
It landed in the collection plate of the devil down in hell
C B7 Em
I said, That's all you'll ever get from me, sir.
[Chorus]
Am7 Em
Oh hangman where do you go?
C B7
Hangman now where do you go?
Em G Am7
I'm following the footsteps of that old black crow
C B7 Em
To find me an unfortunate soul
[Verse 3]
Em Em/G B7
I slept in an old blanket down a ditch
Em C B7
Slept in an old blanket down a ditch
Em G Am7
The night it got inside it was hot and black as pitch
C B7 Em
My clothes they held nary a stitch
[Verse 4]
Em Em/G B7
Tell me, fair woman, why you lied
Em C B7
Tell me, fair woman, why you lied
Em G Am7
I did no harm to no one and still you testified
C B7 Em
I was only looking for some charity
[Chorus]
Am7 Em
Oh hangman where do you go?
C B7
Hangman now where do you go?
Em G Am7
I'm following the footsteps of that old black crow
C B7 Em
To find me an unfortunate soul
[Solo]
Em Em/G B7
Em C B7
Em G Am7
C B7 Em
[Chorus]
Am7 Em
Black crow, now why have you come back?
C B7
Black crow, now why have you come back?
Em G Am7
I found what I was looking for, alas and alack
C B7
My message is for you
G A Em
And the hangman is coming up the track
