INTRO: D5 D/C# E7 X2
D5 D/C# E7
These four walls of Farnworth
D5 D/C# E7
Are closin’ in on me
D5 D/C# E7
My final meal is over
D5 D/C# E7
They’re gonna to set me 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
D5 D/C# E7
Lord now I’m singin’
D5 D/C# E7
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
Lord I hope she forgives me
D5 D/C# A7sus4
For livin’ my life this way
D5
Tonight I’ll ride the lightning
Em7 D5 D/C# E7
To my final judgement day
D5 D/C# E7
Every life owes a death
D5 D/C# E7
That’s what the Bible says
D5 D/C# E7
I owe mine to this state
D5 D/C# E7
For shootin’ that boy to 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’
D5
Made me rob that store
Bm A7sus4
And as that boy lay there dyin’
D5
I dropped my 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 D/C# E7
These four walls of Farnworth
D5 D/C# E7 D5
Are closin’ in on me
