[Verse 1]
Em            Em/G            B7
Where are you going black crow?
Em            C           B7
Where are you going black crow?
Em                G          Am7
I'm flying out to find me an unfortunate soul
      C           B7         Em
I've a message to deliver to him


[Verse 2]
Em           Em/G              B7
I threw an old penny down a well
Em            C           B7
I watched as it forever fell
Em                G          Am7
It landed in the collection plate of the devil down in hell
      C           B7         Em
I said, That's all you'll ever get from me, sir.


[Chorus]
Am7                    Em
Oh hangman where do you go?
C                        B7
Hangman now where do you go?
Em                G                Am7
I'm following the footsteps of that old black crow
      C           B7         Em
To find me an unfortunate soul


[Verse 3]
  Em              Em/G            B7
I slept in an old blanket down a ditch
Em            C           B7
Slept in an old blanket down a ditch
Em                G          Am7
The night it got inside it was hot and black as pitch
      C           B7         Em
My clothes they held nary a stitch


[Verse 4]
Em              Em/G          B7
Tell me, fair woman, why you lied
Em            C           B7
Tell me, fair woman, why you lied
Em                G          Am7
I did no harm to no one and still you testified
      C           B7         Em
I was only looking for some charity


[Chorus]
Am7                    Em
Oh hangman where do you go?
C                        B7
Hangman now where do you go?
Em                G                Am7
I'm following the footsteps of that old black crow
      C           B7         Em
To find me an unfortunate soul


[Solo]
Em  Em/G  B7
Em  C  B7
Em  G  Am7
C  B7  Em


[Chorus]
Am7                    Em
Black crow, now why have you come back?
C                        B7
Black crow, now why have you come back?
Em                G                Am7
I found what I was looking for, alas and alack
      C           B7
My message is for you
        G         A                        Em
And the hangman is coming up the track
