 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

In the movie he plays this with a capo on 2. So if you want to play it how he does in the movie, throw a capo on 2 and transpose this down one full step (two half steps).

Thanks for 'fixing' the chord layout Ultimate Guitar mods... I agree the easiest way to read a chordsheet is to have the chords above the lyrics with no rhyme or reason to where the chords actually go in the music rather than having the chords in brackets inside the lyrics so you know where the actual changes go... ugggh, I hate UG and the turds who run it SO much

For capo 2 your finger positions change (D to C), (G to F), (Bm to Am), (Bb to Ab) and (A to G).
