INTRO:
D5 D/C# E7 X2
[D5]These four [D/C#]walls of [E7]Farnworth
[D5]Are closin' [D/C#]in on [E7]me
[D5]My final [D/C#]meal is [E7]over
[D5]They're gonna to [D/C#]set me [E7]free
I can [A7sus4]feel the fires [D5]burning
As the [A7sus4]devil guards my [D5]door
A7sus4 A10
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
On a[A7sus4] cold ja[Em7]ilhouse [D5]floor
Lord now I'm [D5]sing[D/C#]in' [E7]
Get me out of [D5]here[D/C#] [E7]
I see the [A7sus4]preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
A10 Em7
When they strap me in this chair
Lord I hope she [D5]forgives me [D/C#] [A7sus4]
For [D5]livin' my life t[D/C#]his way [A7sus4]
[D5]Tonight I'll ride the lightning
To my [Em7]final judgement [D5]day [D/C#] [E7]
[D5]Every [D/C#]life owes a [E7]death
[D5]That's what the B[D/C#]ible [E7]says
[D5]I owe [D/C#]mine to this [E7]state
[D5]For shootin' that [D/C#]boy to [E7]death
[A7sus4]A liquor store [D5]attendant
He was [A7sus4]reachin' for his [D5]gun
A7sus4 A10
Now his mama sits there smilin'
As the [A7sus4]boss yells, [Em7]Roll on [D5]one
And now I'm [D5]singi[D/C#]n' [A7sus4]
Get me out of [D5]here[D/C#] [A7sus4]
I see the [A7sus4]preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
A10 Em7
When they strap me in this chair
I hope she [D5]forgives me [D/C#] [A7sus4]
For [D5]leavin' [D/C#]her this [A7sus4]way
[D5]Tonight I'll ride the lightining
To my [Em7]final resting [A7sus4]place
[Bm]A hungry blue-eyed [A7sus4]baby cryin'
Made me [D5]rob that store
[Bm]And as that boy [A7sus4]lay there dyin'
I dropped my [D5]pistol on the floor
Yeah I'd [A7sus4]take it all back
But there's nothin' I can do
A10
They've covered my face
And the order's [A7sus4]gone through
As the boss yells, Roll on two
Now I'm [D5]flyi[D/C#]n' [A7sus4]
up and out of [D5]here[D/C#] [A7sus4]
I [A7sus4]close my eyes and slowly rise
A10 Em7
Let my body leave this chair
Lord I hope you [D5]forgive me [D/C#] [A7sus4]
For [D5]livin' my [D/C#]life this [A7sus4]way
[D5]Tonight I ride the lightning
To my [Em7]final resting [A7sus4]place
[D5]These four [D/C#]walls of [E7]Farnworth
[D5]Are closin' [D/C#]in on [E7]me [D5]
