English folk song
Key: Bm

 -8    -8   -8    -6*  6 -5
Slack your rope, hangs-a-man
-4 -4   -5 -5 -4  -5
O slack it for a while
-7 -7  -7 -7  -8 -9  -8  -7  -6*
I think I see my fa-ther com-ing
-7  -8  -7 -7-6* -7
Rid-ing man-y a mile
-7-8  -9   -8  -7    -6*   -7  -7
O fa-ther have you brought me gold
-7  -8  -9   -8  -7 -6*
Or have you paid my fee
-7  -8  -9   -8  -7 -6* 6   -5  -4
Or have you come to see me hang-ing
-5 -5  -5   -5   -5
On the gal-lows tree
-7 -8  -9    -8    -7   -6*
I have not brought you gold
-7 -8  -9   -8   -7  -6*
I have not paid your fee
-7 -8  -9   -8  -7 -6*  6   -5  -4
But I have come to see you hang-ing
-5 -5  -5   -5   -5
On the gal-lows tree
