the damp  (C major) dirty prison
Where the executioner's
face is always well hidden

Where hun (F major) ger is ugly,

where souls are forgot (C major) ten
Where black is the color,

And I'll tell  (F major) it and think it and
C 
speak  (C major) it and breathe it
F 
And reflect  (F major) it from the mountain
C 
so all  (C major) souls can see it
F 
Then I'll stand  (F major) on the ocean
C 
until  (C major) I  start sinkin'
F 
But I'll  (F major) know my song well
C 
before  (C major) I start singin'
