Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) All night long I tried (C major)
but couldn't sleep (G major) (C major) . (G major) (C major) (G major)
Tried to be a man, (C major) tried not to (G major) weep.
Now (C major) I hear the turning (D major) of the (G major) key,
Silently, the guard (C major) motions
to me. (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Now real (C major) ize the end is
(G major) near (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
And I find I can (C major) 't control my fear. (G major)
(C major) As I pass the guard, (D major) I start to (G major) cry,
And I whisper, (C major) "I don't want to die!" (G major)
(C major) Then from death row comes a whisper,
"Charlie, (F major) be a man." (D major)
And I scream, "Just wait till your turn,
(G major) then see if you can!"
Verse 2
Down the hall they push (C major) and
carry (G major) me. (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Blind with fright and tears (C major)
won't let me see. (G major)
(C major) Through a door and (D major) then
I stop and (G major) stare,
'cause I see it, (C major) there it is,
THE CHAIR. (G major) (E major)
(A major) Then they strap me (D major) in and
turn to (A major) leave, (D major) (A major)
And the prison chaplain (D major) says "Believe, (A major)
(D major) Faith in God will (E major) cause him to forgive." (A major)
I have faith, but (D major) still I want to (A major) live.
(D major) Suddenly, I'm paralyzed,
(G major) this must be the end.
My (E major) body jerks and trembles as
they (A major) turn it on again.
Quickly as it (D major) came, the pain is (A major) gone.
I hear music,
someone (D major) sings a song. (A major) (D major)
Suddenly I seem (E major) to float
through (A major) air.
Something's wrong 'cause
(D major) I'm still in THE CHAIR. (A major)
In the room there's (D major) hardly any light, (A major)
(D major) (A major) (D major) (A major)
Now I see a doctor (D major) dressed in white. (A major)
(D major) I hear every word, (E major) it's plainly said. (A major)
Did I hear them say, (D major)
"This man is (A major) dead?" (G major)
Did I hear them say,
"This man is (A major) dead?
