Three Men Hanging
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Bm A Bm A Em G6 Bm Asus2
Bm Asus2
Get on with it
Bm Asus2
put off the fuss you chickenshit
Bm Asus2
get on with it
Bm Asus2
can't you see its time to quit
Bm
I seen three men hangin' from a sycamore
Asus2
their bodies were stiff as a two by four
Em Bm Asus2
and their heads were tilted down towards the ground
Bm
and it ain't been long since they been up there
Asus2
that their bodies turned cold hangin' in that air
Bm Asus2
and they might have froze before that noose got to them
[Interlude]
Bm Asus2 Bm Asus2 Em G6 Asus2
Bm Asus2
Get on with it
Bm Asus2
put off the fuss you chickenshit
Bm Asus2
get on with it
Bm Asus2
can't you see its time to quit
Bm
old scratch has dealt us a dirty hand
Asus2
he had the look of a saint but the greed of a man
Bm Asus2
and his face was worn and wrinkled like a leather book
Bm
and if i put this revolver to my head
Asus2 Bm Asus2
will god turn against me instead of taking pity on a broken man?
Bm Asus2
get on with it.
Bm Asus2
get on with it.
Bm Asus2
get on with it.
Bm Asus2
get on with it.

The strumming pattern for this is easy to figure out as well.
(If you want to play it in standard tuning just play the notes on the low E one step
power chords.)
Then the verse is just Bm to A. And the "Three men hangin' from a sycamore..." part goes
to D to A. And that's pretty much the whole song.
Get on with it
Put off the fuss you chickenshit
Get on with it
Can't you see it's time to quit
I seen three men hanging from a sycamore
Their bodies were stiff as a 2 x 4
And their heads were tilted towards the dirt
And it ain't been long since they been up there
That their bodies turned cold hangin in the air
They mighta froze before that noose got to them
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?
