 (G major) They sent me to this prison

for a crime  (D major) I did outside
G 
 (G major) I killed a man and didn't hang,
D 
G 
but I  (D major) might as well have died  (G major) 
C 
D 
For  (C major) every minute that  (D major) I live,
C 
I know  (C major) that death may call
G 
You see,  (G major) his brother's here with me,
C 
G 
right  (C major) inside these walls  (G major) 
C 
D 
And I  (C major) don't even know  (D major) his face,
C 
but I'm  (C major) sure that he knows mine
G 
The  (G major) eyes of death are watching me,
C 
G 
just  (C major) biding his time  (G major)

Oh Lord,  (C major) he takes his  (G major) time  (A flat major) 
Each night they slam my lonely cell

And  (E flat major) turn the lights down low  (A flat major) 
And I can't close my eyes to sleep

Be (E flat major) cause somewhere I know  (A flat major)

He's  (D flat major) plannin' how he'll drive  (E flat major) the knife

And Lord,  (A flat major) this just not knowin'
Db

when we'll tear  (D flat major) a man apart  (A flat major)

He's  (D flat major) just a number,  (E flat major) not a name,

and he'll  (D flat major) get me from behind

just bidin'  (D flat major) his time  (A flat major)

Oh Lord,  (D flat major) he takes his  (A flat major) time  (A major) 
Sometimes I think I'll try the wall
E 
A 
and face  (E major) the deadly gun (A major) s
I'd either die or I'd be free
E 
A 
to leave  (E major) this place  (A major) and run
D 
E 
This man  (D major) he's sworn to make  (E major) me pay
D 
but he'd rather  (D major) see me cry
A 
So he'll  (A major) just play around with me
D 
A 
while  (D major) I wait to die.  (A major) 
D 
E 
No prison  (D major) ever held  (E major) a man
D 
with a  (D major) sanity just like mine.

The  (A major) eyes of death are watching me

He's bid (D major) ing his time.  (A major) 
D 
Oh,  (D major) Lord, he takes his time
He's just biding his time
