Here are some of the basics for Gallows Pole the way I play it

Ted DaCosta

Page plays similar riffs to this basic progression

e------------0--0-0-0---------5--------------------------------------------

B---2-0-2--2-0--1-1-1--1---3--0--------------------------------------------

G---0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0--0---0-----------------------------------------------

D---2-2-2--2----2---2--2---4-----------------------------------------------

A--------------------------------------------------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hang man, hang man....

e--3-3-3--2-2--2-----------------------------------------------------------

B--0-0-0--3-3--3-----------------------------------------------------------

G--0-0-0--2-2--2-----------------------------------------------------------

D--0-0-0--0-0--0-----------------------------------------------------------

A--2-2-2-------------------------------------------------------------------

E--3-3-3-------------------------------------------------------------------

riding many a ....

Now when the mandolin comes in the following standard open chords are played

A G D G A D G

Hang man, hang man hold it a little while

A G D G D

I think I see my brother coming riding many a mile

Next part lightly muted A chord

e--------

B--------

G--2-----

D--2-----

A--0-----

E--------

Next part uses this type of riff

A

e----------------------------------------------

B----------------------------------------------

G---2-----2---2-2-2-2-2------------------------

D---2-----2---2-2-2-2-2------------------------

A---0-----0---0-0-0-0-0------------------------

E-3----3---------------------------------------

muted lightly

Brother I brought you some silver...

Next change follows above riff

A C D A

Yes I've brought you to keep you from the gallows pole...

Also I saw some discussion on the line

"save me from the wrath of this man" this sounds correct to me
