  • Verse 1
    Bentley 
    said 
    to Craig 
    "Let 

    him have 
    it 
    Chris" 

    They 
    still 
    don`t 
    know 
    today 
    just 

    what 
    he meant 
    by 
    this 

    Craig 
    fired 
    the 
    pistol, 

    but 
    was 
    too 
    young 
    to swing 

    So the 
    police 
    took 
    Bentley 

    and 
    the 
    very 
    next 
    thing 

    Let 
    him 
    dangle 

    Let 
    him 
    dangle 



    Verse 2
    Bentley 
    had 
    surrendered, 

    he was 
    under 
    arrest, 

    When 
    he 
    gave 
    Chris 
    Craig 

    that 
    fatal 
    request 

    Craig 
    shot 
    Sidney 
    Miles, 

    he 
    took 
    Bentley`s word 

    The 
    prosecution 
    claimed 
    as 
    they 

    charged 
    them 
    with 
    murder

    Let 
    him dangle 

    Let 
    him 
    dangle 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    They 
    say 
    Derek 
    Bentley 
    was 
    easily 
    led 

    Well 
    what`s 
    that 
    to 
    the 
    woman 

    that 
    Sid
    ney 
    Miles 
    wed 

    Though 
    guilty 
    was 
    the 
    verdict, 

    and 
    Craig 
    had 
    shot 
    him dead 

    The 
    gallows 
    were 
    for 
    Bentley 

    and still 
    she 
    nev
    er 
    said 

    Let 
    him dangle 

    Let 
    him 

    dangle 

    Verse 4

    Well it`s 
    hard 
    to 
    imagine 
    it`s 
    the 

    times 
    that have 
    changed 

    When 
    there`s 
    murder 
    in 
    the 
    kitchen 

    that 
    is brutal 
    and 
    strange 

    If killing 
    any
    body 
    is 
    terrible 
    crime 

    Why 
    does 
    this 
    bloodthirsty 
    chorus 

    come 
    round 
    from 
    time 
    to 
    time 

    Let 
    him 
    dangle 


    Verse 5
    Not 
    many 
    people 
    thought 
    that 

    Bentley 
    would 
    hang 

    But the 
    word 
    never 
    came, 

    the 
    phone 
    never 
    rang 

    Out
    side 
    Wandsworth 
    Prison 

    there 
    was 
    horror 
    and 
    hate 

    As the 
    hangman 
    shook 
    Bentley`s hand 

    to cal
    culate 
    his weight 

    Let 
    him 

    dangle 

    Interlude 2



    From 
    Verse 6



    welfare 
    state 
    to 
    society 
    murder 

    Bring 
    "back 
    the 
    noose" 
    is 

    al
    ways 
    heard 

    Whenever 
    those 
    swine 
    are 
    under 
    attack 

    But it 
    won`t 
    make 
    you 
    even 

    It 
    won`t 
    bring 
    him 
    back

    Verse 7
    Let 
    him 
    dangle 


    Let 
    him 
    dangle 

    (String him up)

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • 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

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • 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

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
