Key: B major
Verse 1
G
C
Well, there a building a gallows
outside my cell
G
F
I've got twenty -five minutes to go
G
Bb
G
And the whole town's waiting
just to hear me yell
Well, they gave me some beans
for my last meal
But nobody asked me how I feel
Well, I sent for the governor
and the whole darn bunch
And I sent for the mayor,
but he's out to lunch,
And then the sheriff said,
boy, I'm gonna watch you die,
So I laugh in his face,
and I spit in his eye,
C
Db
got 18 minutes to go
Now here comes the preacher
for to save my soul
And he's talking about burning
but I'm so cold
Now they're testing the trap
and it chills my spine
And the trap and the rope,
oh, they worked just fine
Well, I'm waiting for a pardon
that will set me free
With nine minutes to go
so forget about me
Db
D
Got eight more minutes to go
With my feet on the trap
and my head in the noose
Won't somebody come and cut me loose
Oh, I can see the mountains,
I can see the sky
And it's too darn pretty
for a man to want to die
I can see the buzzard,
I can hear the crows
And now I'm swinging,
How did you like the song?
