Three Men Hanging Tab

by Murder By Death


Quite a bit of this song is written for banjo and a little piano (I think) but I think 
sound pretty good on the guitar for chords. Please leave any questions, comment, or 
changes in a comment or something.

Intro:        

          
Get on with it
                          
put off the fuss you chickenshit
          
get on with it
                        
can't you see its time to quit


I seen three men hangin' from a sycamore

their bodies were stiff as a two by four
                                         
and their heads were tilted down towards the ground

and it ain't been long since they been up there

that their bodies turned cold hangin' in that air
                                                 
and they might have froze before that noose got to them


Interlude:       


          
Get on with it
                          
put off the fuss you chickenshit
          
get on with it
                        
can't you see its time to quit


old scratch has dealt us a dirty hand

he had the look of a saint but the greed of a man
                                                
and his face was worn and wrinkled like a leather book
              
and if i put this revolver to my head
                                                     
will god turn against me instead of taking pity on a broken man?

           
get on with it. [X 4]
