Hangman Lyrics & Tabs by Beat Happening
Hangman
guitar chords lyrics
There's a little village near the center of Spain,
Where a jealous brother killed a cold-blooded Cain.
They had a dirty job that had to be done.
When they asked for takers, there was only one.
Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.
I'm the hangman, hangman, hangman...
I wake at four, wash my hands,
Drink to my god, atone for my sins.
Walk out to the yard, test the rope.
When the dawn breaks, I start to work,
Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.
I'm the hangman; cause I'm the hangman...
Hangman...
Make peace with yourself, cause I'm the hangman.
Hangman, yeah, the hangman, hangman.
Hangman...
Make peace with yourself, cause I'm the hangman.
Hangman, yeah, the hangman, hangman.
Feel no guilt, I feel no shame,
I return to my family at the end of the day.
Sit and watch my son while he's out at play,
When he grows to be a man, he'll be just like me.
He'll be the hangman. I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.
I'm the hangman, hangman...
