Let Him Dangle - Elvis Costello (D. MacManus)

Em

Bentley said to craig let him have it Chris

C B7

They still dont know today just what he meant by this

Em

Craig fired the pistol but was to young to swing

C B7

so the police to Bentley in the very next thing

Chorus:

Em C B7

Let him dangle let him dangle Do do do do do do do do do

Bently had surrended he was under arrest

when he gave Chris Craigs that fatal request

Craig shot sidney miles he took bentleys word

the prosecution claimed as they charged him with murder...

Bridge

G D Am7

Well its hard to imagine its the times that have changed

G D

when theres a murder in the kitchen that is brutal and strange

G D Am7 D

If killing anybody is a terrible crime why does this blood thirsty chorus

B7 Em C B7

come round from time to time Let him dangle do do do do do do do do do

They siad Derek Bentley was easlily led

well whats that to the women that sidney miles wed

though guilty was the verdict and craig had shot him dead

the gallows were for bentley and still she never said...

Not many people thought that bentley would hang

but the word never came the phone never rang

outside wandsworth prison there was horror and hate

as the hangman shook bentleys hand to calculate his weight....

From a welfare state to society murder

bring back the noose is always heard

whenever thos swine are under attack

but it wont make you even it wont bring him back...

Em C B7
