  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
