[Verse 5] E They cut her fair young body down, A Am while she made protests weak E And as they laid her out upon the ground, B7 she cried in girlish pique: E "Look, I tried to save my daddy, A Am which was true a noble thing E But still while I was up there, man, B7 I learned it's fun to swing" [Chorus] E A Hang on the bell, Nellie, hang on the bell E So your poor daddy's sprung from his B7 cold prison cell E As you swing to the left, Nellie, A Am swing to the right E No matter when that curfew rings, B7 we're gonna swing tonight E6 e|---------------| B|-------2---2---| G|-------1---1---| D|-------2---2---|2x A|-------2---2---| E|---0---0---0---|
