[D] [D/C#] [G/B]
Verse 1(Slightly Palm muted)
[D]These four[D/C#] walls of F[G/B]arnworth
[D]Are [D/C#]closin' in on m[G/B]e
[D]My fina[D/C#]l meal is ov[G/B]er
[D]They're gon[D/C#]na set me [G/B]free
I can [G]feel the fire's a b[D]urnin'
As the [G]devil guards my do[D]or
I hit my [G]knees in search[G/F#] of Je[Em]sus
On a [G]cold [A]jailhouse [D]floor
Chorus 1
Lord, now I'm s[D]ingin[D/C#]'[G/B]
Get me out of h[D]ere[D/C#] [G/B]
I see the prea[G]cher's eyes
As my d[G/F#]aughter cries
When they s[Em]trap me in this c[A]hair
Lord, I hope she fo[D]rgi[D/C#]ves m[G/B]e
For livi[D]n' my life [D/F#]this wa[G]y
[D]Tonight I ride the lightning
To my [A7]final judgment day
Verse 2
Every life owes a death
That's what the Bible says
I owe mine to this state
For shootin' that boy to death
A liquor store attendant
He was reachin' for his gun
Now his Momma sits there smilin'
As the boss yells Roll on one
Chorus 2
And now I'm singin'
Get me out of here
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
Lord I hope she forgives me
For leaving her this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final restin' place
Bridge
[Fm]A hungry blue eyed [G]baby cryin'
Made me [D]rob that[(G/B] store[D] [G/B)]
[Fm]An' as that boy l[G]ay there dyin'
I dropped my p[D]istol on the [(G/B]floor[D] [G/B)]
Yeah, I'd take it [G]all back but there's nothin' [G/F#]I can do
They've [Em]covered my face
An' the [G/F#]order's gone through
G NC
As the boss yells Roll on, two
Final Chorus (Slightly Palm muted)
Now I'm flyin'
Up an' out of here
I close my eyes an' slowly rise
Let my body leave this chair
Lord I hope you forgive me
For livin' my life this way
[D]Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning
To my [G]final re[A7]stin' pl[G]ace[G/F#] [G] [G/F#]
These four walls of Farnworth
Are closin' in on me
