Chad Vangaalen - Hangmans Son Chords

[Intro]
C F C Am E F C (x1)

[Verse]
C          F         C
He was the hangman's son
Am               E              F        C
Wouldn't crack a smile til' the deal was done
           F    C
He was the only one
Am             E            F         C    Em
Laughing as he sang that we all shall hang
Am       C
Oh, have mercy
F                        C  Em
On the demons that curse me
Am         F
Oh, lay it on me
Em               Am
When my time has come
      F                       Am
And I don't have the sense to run

C          F         C
He was the hangman's son
        Am            E             F               C
He said every day's a curse and the curse just gets worse
               F      C
And now you're on the run
        Am              E                   F        C    C Em
You can smell his dirty work 'cause now you wear his shirt

Am              C
You left in the night
F                 C        Em
On your ten speed bicycle, well
Am             C
It was a great beginning
F                 C        Em
Yeah everyone was cheering for you
    Am                  C
But now I stand on your grave
F                  C      Em
With no nothing to say to you, but
Am               C
I wonder how you breath
F      Em          Am
Buried deep in the ground
