They're Hanging Me Tonight

**Chords:**
Am  F  C  G

Am                     F
They're hanging me tonight,  
C                      G
In the gallows high and bright,  
Am                      F
For a crime I did not do,  
C             G
But the law don't care for truth.  

Am                     F
I can hear the crowd outside,  
C                     G
Their whispers, shouts, and pride,  
Am                        F
As I wait for my final breath,  
C                      G
In the shadow of my death.  

Am                  F
Oh, the moon is shining clear,  
C                     G
As I face my greatest fear,  
Am                       F
But I'll stand tall and fight,  
C                      G
Even as they hang me tonight.
