Verse 1
Em
The village square stands quiet,
G
the curfew's still in force
Am
The streets are even clearer
C
of dogs and whores
Em
Like some wild bird of prey,
G
the scaffold spreads its wings
Am
The people build their fires
C
and bar the doors
The mayor is giving dinner
D
to the of ficers and wives
C
D
His eldest son is learning how to fawn
C
D
The barrack square is hushed and tense,
the soldiers drawing lots
C
G
D
For who will be the hangman in the dawn?
Em
A lot for Donnie Hellman
G
who has served for but a year
Am
C
His home is in the village close nearby
Em
He trembles at the thought
G
of what he has to do next day
Am
C
And he wonders who it is that has to die
The pale moon casts a cold light
D
on the gloomy prison wall
C
The papist walks his cell
D
and cannot sleep
C
He hears the waiting gallows
D
creaking just beyond the door
C
G
He prays for he has no
D
more tears to weep
Em
The drum begins to break,
G
the muffled drums begin to sound
Am
C
The crowd begins to gather in the square
Em
The presence of a hangman
G
in his terrifying mask
Am
Weighs heavy on the minds
C
of all those there
The Colonel reads a sentence
D
that the Papist knows by heart
C

He's failed to show allegiance to the King
C
His crime has thus withgot himself,
D
in his name he must hang
C
G
The Papist's head held high
D
says not a thing
Em
The jailer binds his hands,
G
puts the blindfold to his eyes
Am
He leads him through the door
C
before the crowd
Em
The hangman sees his victim,
G
and the blood drains from his face
Am
He sees his younger
C
brother standing proud
The hangman tries to protest,
D
but is ordered to proceed
C
His trembling hands begin
D
to take the strain
C
His eyes are blind with screaming tears,
D
he cries for all to hear
C
Forgive me, God,
G
D
we hang Him in Thy name
C
Forgive me, God,
G
D
we hang Him in Thy name
C
Forgive me, God,
G
D
we hang Him in Thy name

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
