Am AmMaj7 Am7 G Gm Bb Fmaj7 Am
(The parts that don't have the chords, is to be played like the chorus)
It ALL began when they come took me from my home
And put me on Death Row,
a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know.
I Ambegan to waErm and chill
To Amobjects and Etheir fields,
A Amragged cup, Ea twisted mop
ThAme face of JesEus in my soup
ThAmose sinister Edinner deals
ThAme meal trolley's Ewicked wheels
A Amhooked bone rising Efrom my food
AlAml things either goEod or ungood.
AmAnd the mercy seat is waiting
AmMaj7
And I think my head is burning
Am7And in a way I'm yearning
To be dGone with all this weighing of the trGmuth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tBbooth
And anyway I told the Fmaj7truth
And I'm not afraid to dAmie.
Am / E / Am / E
AmI hear stories from the chamber
AmMaj7
Christ was born into a manger
Am7And like some ragged stranger
He diGed upon the cross. Might I sGmay,
it seems so fitting in its Bbway
He was a carpenter by Fmaj7trade
Or at leaAmst that's what I'm told
Am / E / Am / E
AmMy k**l-hand'Es tatooed EV.I.L.
AmacrosEs it's brother's fist
AmThat Efilthy five!
AmThey did nEothing to challenge or resist.
Am AmMaj7
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The Am7ark of his Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All hGistory does unfold.
GmIt's made of wood and wire
And my Bbbody is on fire
Fmaj7And God is never far aAmway.
Am AmMaj7
Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wAm7ired
And like a moth that tries
To Genter the bright eye
I go Gmshuffling out of life
Just to Bbhide in death awhile
Fmaj7And anyway I never Amlied.
AmAnd the mercy seat is waiting
AmMaj7
And I think my head is burning
Am7And in a way I'm yearning
To be Gdone with Gmall this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a Bbtooth
And anyway I told the tFmaj7ruth
And I'm nAmot afraid to die.
AmAnd the mercy seat is burning
AmMaj7
And I think my head is glowing
Am7And in a way I'm hoping
To be Gdone with Gmall this twisting of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a Bbtooth
And anyway there was no Fmaj7proof
And I'm nAmot afraid to die.
AmAnd the mercy seat is glowing
AmMaj7
And I think my head is smoking
Am7And in a way I'm hoping
To be Gdone with all these lGmooks of disbelief.
A life for a life
And a truth for a Bbtruth
And I've got nothing left to Fmaj7lose
And I'm nAmot afraid to die.
AmAnd the mercy seat is smoking
AmMaj7
And I think my head is melting
Am7And in a way that's helping
To be Gdone with all this twisting Gmof the truth
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a Bbtooth
And anyway I told the Fmaj7truth
But I'm afraid I Amtold a lie.
