gBentley said to craig let him have it Chris
GThey still dont know toB7day just what he meant by this
gCraig fired the pistol but was to young to swing
so the pGolice to BentleB7y in the very next thing

Chorus:
Let him danggle let him dangle GDo do do do do B7do 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
Well its Chard to imaCgine its the g7times that have changed
when theres a Cmurder in the kitchen that is bCrutal and strange
If Ckilling anybCody is a teg7rrible crime why dCoes this blood thirsty chorus
 come B7round from timge to time   Let hiGm dangle  do doB7 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...

g G B7
