[Verse]
D A
As I rode in to Tombstone on my horse his name was Mac
C G
I saw what I'll relate to you goin' on behind my back
F# G
It seems the folks were up in arms, a man now had to die
A
For believin' things that didn't fit the laws they set aside
[Verse]
D A
The man's name was "I'm a Freak", the best that I could see
C G
He was the executioner, a hangman just like me
F# G
I guess that he'd seen loopholes from workin' with his rope
A
He'd hung the wrong man many times, so now he turned to hope
[Verse]
D A
He talked to all the people from his scaffold in the square
C G
He told them of the things he found, but they didn't seem to care
F# G
He said the laws were obsolete, a change they should demand
A
But the people only walked away, he couldn't understand
[Verse]
D A
The marshall's name was "Uncle Sam", he said he'd right this wrong
C G
He'd make the hangman shut his mouth if it took him all year long
F# G
He finally arrested Freak and then he sent for me
A
To hang a fellow hangman from a fellow hangman's tree
[Verse]
D A
It didn't take them long to try him in their court of law
C G
He was guilty then of thinkin', a crime much worse than all
F# G
They sentenced him to die, so his seed of thought can't spread
A
And infect the little children, that's what the law had said
[Verse]
D A
So the hangin' day came round, and he walked up to the noose
C G
I pulled the lever but before he fell, I cut him loose
F# G
They called it all conspiracy, and then I had to die
A
So to close our mouths and kill our minds, they hung us side by side
[Outro]
A E
And now we're too hangmen hangin' from a tree
G D A
That don't bother me at all (repeat ad nauseum)
