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
A7Sus4 D5
I can feel the fires burning
A7Sus4 D5
As the devil guards my door
A7Sus4 A10
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
A7Sus4 Em7 D5
On a cold jailhouse floor
Lord now I'm [D5]sing[D/C#]in'[E7]
Get me out of [D5]here[D/C#] [E7]
A7Sus4
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
A10 Em7
When they strap me in this chair
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
Lord I hope she forgives me
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
For livin' my life this way
[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 D5
A liquor store attendant
A7Sus4 D5
He was reachin' for his gun
A7Sus4 A10
Now his mama sits there smilin'
A7Sus4 Em7 D5
As the boss yells, Roll on one
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
And now I'm singin'
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
Get me out of here
A7Sus4
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
A10 Em7
When they strap me in this chair
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
I hope she forgives me
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
For leavin' her this way
[D5]Tonight I'll ride the lightining
Em7 A7Sus4
To my final resting place
Bm A7Sus4
A hungry blue-eyed baby cryin'
Made me [D5]rob that store
Bm A7Sus4
And as that boy lay there dyin'
I dropped my [D5]pistol on the floor
A7Sus4
Yeah I'd take it all back
But there's nothin' I can do
A10
They've covered my face
A7Sus4
And the order's gone through
As the boss yells, Roll on two
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
Now I'm flyin'
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
up and out of here
A7Sus4
I close my eyes and slowly rise
A10 Em7
Let my body leave this chair
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
Lord I hope you forgive me
D5 D/C# A7Sus4
For livin' my life this way
[D5]Tonight I ride the lightning
Em7 A7Sus4
To my final resting place
[D5]These four [D/C#]walls of [E7]Farnworth
[D5]Are closin' [D/C#]in on [E7]me [D5]
