Key: E minor
Verse 1
F#m
I'm waiting in my cold cell when
the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it
doesn't have much time
D
'Cause at 5 o'clock,
E
F#m
they take me to the Gallows Pole
D
E
The sands of time for me are run

When the priest comes to
A
read me the last rites
D
Take a look through the
F#m
E
bars at the last sights
F#m
Of a world that has gone very
D
F#m
wrong for me
Can it be that there's
A
some sort of error?
D
F#m
E
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end,
F#m
D
F#m
not some crazy dream?
Somebody, please tell me
that I'm dreaming
D
It's not easy to stop from screaming
E
The words escape me when
F#m
D
F#m
I try to speak
Tears flow, but why am I crying?
D
After all, I'm not afraid of dying
E
F#m
Don't I believe that there never is an end?

F#m
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
D
Somebody cries from a cell,
"God be with you"
E
F#m
If there's a God, why has he let me go?
As I walk, my life drifts before me
D
Though the end is near I'm not sorry
E
F#m
E
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
F#m
Mark my words,
D
believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
E
I've gone beyond to
F#m
seek the truth
When you know that your
D
time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
E
F#m
Life down here is just a strange illusion
