[Chorus]

 D                   G                 D 
Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone
           Bm         G               D 
Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone
                   Bm 
I wouldn't mind the hangin'
          D                    Bm 
But, the layin' in the grave so long, poor boy
      Bb7      A       D 
I been all around this world


[Verse]

 D                               G              D 
I been all around Cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas
                      Bm            G           D 
I been all around Cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas
                  Bm 
I got so goddamned hungry
          D             Bm 
I could hide behind a straw, poor boy
     Bb7     A         D 
I been all around this world

 D                     G               D 
Went up on a mountain, there I made my stand
            Bm         G               D 
Went up on a mountain, there I made my stand
            Bm 
A rifle on my shoulder
      D            Bm 
And a dagger in my hand, poor boy
     Bb7       A        D 
I been all around this world


[Chorus]

    D                    G                 D 
So, hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone
            Bm           G              D 
Hang me, oh, hang me and I'll be dead and gone
                  Bm 
I wouldn't mind the hangin'
          D                   Bm 
But, the layin' in the grave so long, poor boy
    Bb7      A         D 
I been all around this world


[Verse]

 D                                   G            D 
Put the rope around my neck, they hung me up so high
           Bm                  G            D 
Put the rope around my neck and hung me up so high
               Bm 
The last words I heard 'em say
          D              Bm 
Won't be long now 'fore ya die, poor boy
      Bb7   A           D 
I been all around this world


[Chorus]

    D                    G                 D 
So, hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone
            Bm           G              D 
Hang me, oh, hang me and I'll be dead and gone
                  Bm 
I wouldn't mind the hangin'
          D                   Bm 
But, the layin' in the grave so long, poor boy
    Bb7      A         D 
I been all around this world
