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
