Hangman

[Am9]Last night I wasnt sleeping
        [D]I knew it was my[Am9] last,
        [Am9]I?d just been lying thinking,
        [D]reliving all my [Am9]past,
        my familiy and friends have left,
        my children are all lost
        [F]and now Im standing in the death cell
        [E]as the times of sands fall fast

        [Am9]my pour heart it is thumping
        [D]my head is filled [Am9]to flood
        to feel the rope around my neck
        and know its there for good
        I know that I am innocent
        but no ones understood
        and now Im standing on the gallows
        to be murdered in cold blood

        [Am9]We are c[G]reature[F]s of [E]darkness,
        killers of time
        creatures of darkness
        bodies in lime

        Oh hangman, oh hangman
        how sleepless is your bed
        I cant believe my own ears
        my heart is full of lead
        that you?d apply and get the job,
        of pulling off my head
        and leave me kicking in the darkness
        covering the walls with blood

        Oh hangman, oh hangman
        your working in the shade
        oh creatures of the jungle,
        whose message is displayed
        in graphic tones of blood revenge
        all down the civil blade
        and your the creppy little monkey
        who murders to be paid

        In about six minutes time
        Ill be thrown into the lime
        by the screws who dug my grave
        and never felt ashamed
        who threw me in still breathing
        and covered me in slime
        and put me on a map in the governers office
        a number with no name

        We are creatures of darkness....

        and true as I stand here
        Id wished to be untied.
        the repose lies clean at your throat
        that my death might somehow be justified
        theres no unconsecrated ground
        in my heart or in my mind
        I lived and died in a world full of snakes
        and Im buried in a vicious lie

        We are creatures of darkness

        Thats it....

        The chords are played mostly open with E shape barre chords for
the chorus, although you can play them open if you like.

        I havent worked out the little riff at the beginning of the
song, but its just a Amin thing. I seem to remember seeing him play
it at the 7th position, but Im sure theres other ways of doing it.

        Have fun
