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.
