Note: This can also be played with a capo on the 5th fret and by playing the open chords 
of C5 , A5 and F5 from there (Actually F5 , D5 and Bb5 , but they look like the open chords 
from the capo).

Intro: F5 D5 Bb5 F5

F5                      D5
When I hear the rain a comin' down
F5                      D5
it makes me sad and blue
F5                         D5
Was on a rainy night like this
Bb5                        F5
that Flo said we were through.


F5                   D5
I told her how I loved her,
F5                    D5
and I begged her not to go
F5                           D5
But another man had changed her mind
Bb5                   F5
so I said goodbye to Flo.


F5                     D5
Alone within my cell tonight
F5                      D5
my heart is filled with fear
F5                       D5
The only sound within the room
Bb5                      F5
is the falling of each tear.


F5                          D5
I think about the thing I've done,
F5                    D5
I know it wasn't right
F5                     D5   Bb5                          F5
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,
Bb5                     F5
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.
