[Am] [Bm] [Am]
As a young man, [G] I was raised by a man [Am] of the law,
[F] And taught [G] to judge men equal, [Am] not to find their faults.
But till one day, [G] I witnessed a [Am] tragic thing,
[F] The man [G] lay on a church [Am] step and slain.
He danced the smokeless, [G] a tall man, he hosted [Am] his son.
[F] The bright [G] day ended, and [Am] a cloud of smoke was gone,
I found hate in my heart that [G] I'd never known [Am] before.
[F] I [G] see this man hanging, [Am] that's the one thing that I know for [F] sure.
[G] Severato, [Am] you're hanging by the hangman's tree,
[F] And [G] you're dying [Am] misery.
[A]
[B] [Am] His face was named in my eyes [G] as I grew [Am] through the years.
[F] I practiced [G] shooting every [Am] day while trying to hold back the tears.
I traveled through Oklahoma [G] and Texas to the Rio [Am] Grande,
[F] Join when [G] I met Severato, [Am] the Lord was dead in my hands.
[F] [G] Severato, [Am] you're hanging by the hangman's tree,
[F] And [G] you're dying [Am] misery.

[Bm] [Am]
[Eb] [Am] Then the day came, [G] I dreamed for [Am] years,
[F] Severato [G] stood before me [Am] and my heart it pounded in fear.
As he turned and saw [G] my eyes, why [Am] I'd gone,
[F] Then without [G] a flick of an [Am] eye, he went for his gun.
As I crossed him [G] by, tears [Am] come to my eyes,
[F] When he [G] could laugh before me, [Am] I dropped my gun and sighed.
[F] [G]
